Like it or not folks; people like good ole Brett are going to come here and create threads if you permit it. His crime is that he is more dedicated to his cause than his opponents are dedicated to their causes so you may end up with 90% of your threads being racialist in nature.
Daisym is whining and crying about the number of racialist-oriented threads that appeared on the forum; how many threads has she created about Australian politics or other issues to add a variety to offset these threads so to speak?

My apologies, I wasn't as clear as I intended in that post.
No one is going to be asking anyone to leave. You are more than welcome to remain and share your views, Frank. I think your long stay at this forum is evidence enough of that.
I didn't intend to single out racist threads in the post above, but to use them as a topical example. I would have the same concern if our board was being flooded by pro-choice advocates, flat tax advocates, flat earth advocates, etc. It's not the topic that my concern lies with, it's the way people attempt to get their topic across by attempting to 'drown out' the competition. I know that if I was looking for a well rounded forum to debate politics on, I'd be immediately turned off by a forum where 70% of the threads were pro-gay marriage threads. I'm even pro gay marriage myself, but such a site would look like it lacked variety and had an obvious bias.
Even you just seemed to suggest that to 'combat' these threads, people should begin posting more non-racist threads. That's the problem. We aren't here to win our arguments by seeing who can post the most threads to drown out the voices of others. We shouldn't need to have people post threads just for the sake of 'evening things out'.
