I wonder what use the BNP thread had to mudcat? I ignored it; seems like a UK problem to me and I know little about them (the posts to the thread don't explain how or why they exist or what their attraction is but just pour fuel on the fire).

Others (several at least) are the Zionist Israeli vs. Palestinian threads; I have posted, often heatedly, because the conflict is important to the future of the Middle East and influences thought across Asia, but here again the thread really has little to do with mudcat. If they were cut out, I wouldn't complain.

Perhaps some limits should be imposed, but I would have a hard time defining them.

Maybe I am in a minority in that I enjoyed the extreme posts by Carol C. (sorry to see her partly muzzled, some of her recent posts are just too polite) and Gargoyle, but have been upset by others who seem to be untouchable- but I won't expand on that.
