  Sadly, the escalation and fuss has also made it almost impossible to discuss this subject, or racism, or any other politically sensitive issue without awkwardness and fear of causing upset. So, another victim of this episode is, in effect, free speech. I have always rather enjoyed the opportunity for debate - even if it does become heated at times! - on the forum, and on the whole we have all managed to agree and disagree amicably despite passions running high sometimes. Banning people, pursuing them through the media, or reporting them to whatever bodies that might be appropriate is not the way forward: discussion, debate and understanding creates opportunities for growth. This has been a sad episode - I hope it goes away soon.
