This thread has, if nothing else, shown that there are plenty of members of this forum who will tirelessly oppose prejudice, bigotry and hatred of "the other." I agree with Don that time spent opposing the very few horridly-intolerant and narrow-minded people who propagate those kinds of sentiments is not time wasted, as to allow them to post their poison unchallenged would, in the long run, serve to misrepresent the forum.

I'd really love this to be the last ever post on this thread, and not because I enjoy having the last word. Because I've bloody had enough.
