  • did you see his 'send them back' post?

    I did, but when I saw it there was a "(that's a joke, obvs.)" rubric.

    "Go rim Corbyn" is crude, but it's technically just the modern and coarser version of the ancient and well worn insult "you're an arselicker".

    Essentially, in order to read enough racism and homophobia into those two posts in the context of a stream of otherwise pretty thoughtful and temperate discussion (by Brexit standards), you'd have to be looking hard for an excuse to ban somebody, and it's hard not to conclude that you wouldn't be looking that hard unless you had a pre-existing bias against the author based on a disagreement about politics.
