Again, it's not the facts themselves, but the *extent* of the concern.

It's also true, I think, that those who say they're not racist often talk of the difference in 'culture' being the issue, not the fact they're from a different 'race'. Not sure we're being entirely honest with ourselves here.

anyway, just to reitterate. I may agree with some criticisms of the BI sellers' behaviour, but it's the sheer magnitute of concern about them that makes me feel deeply uncomfortable, and makes me wonder who the harassers are and who are the harassed. They're not an 'issue' like the pools, to be bandied around and talked about: they're actually *people* who have no means of address on this forum and who've had their behaviour anonymously scrutinised for over eight months. Some contributors should question whether this is now more about getting a kick out of giving the BI sellers a collective kicking, rather than contributing anything useful and helping the people concerned.

Funny that anti-racists are always a 'brigade'.
