Sorry to take up this thread with nonsense of this sort, but this will be my last comment on it here.
Whether or not I am "the worst offender...." may or may not be the case; on a subject as serious as racism I expect there to be strong - often over-the-top discussion, especially when racist statements are made in the course of that discussion - I am prepared to give and take as much as people feel the subject merits and am happy to accept as much stick as I give.
All of which is beside the point here.
I think, and said so, that Joe over-reacted to what I believe was a fairly subdued offering by a guest - I certainly have made my opinion of Keith's beliefs clear in far stronger terms.
I don't know if you have been told you have cancer Keith, or if you were using it as an analogy; if it is true, you have my deepest sympathy, but it in no way alters my opinion of your ideas.
Nothing more on this from me here.
