As I said at the start of this discussion, I think this is better suited to BS.
I think the whole discussion (with very few exceptions) is muck-raking of the worst kind.

The thread was moved to BS for a while, and, if it had originaly been posted there would have been deleted as going against the forum rules, as it was started by a 'Guest'.
Do we really need this sort of discussion here?

You know, does it really make a difference, whether it's in the Music or BS section, or whether it exists or doesn't exist? Is it really important?
I realize there is a significant cultural difference here. If Europeans find speech distasteful, they firmly believe that something must be done about it, that it must be suppressed or at least significantly contained.
If Americans find speech distasteful, they firmly believe it must be allowed - but actively ignored.
The thread was moved to the non-music section by a European moderator whose judgement I admire and respect. Nonetheless, I countermanded his action because there's nothing in our policy or precedents that allows moving threads to non-music simply because they are distasteful. I don't know that we will ever find a middle ground between these two points of view. Such is life.
All that being said, I must say that I also find the thread distasteful.
