Simon, most of us here will support you (or should anyway) whether we agree with you or not. This forum is like an extension of your house that you've invited us into for an evening of association. It's true that the internet itself may be like the woolly bully west, and "anything goes" because hey! it's "free speech"! But in your house, your forum, you call the shots and no one has the right to "demand" their rights. For example, if you threw a party and during the course of the evening someone took a leak on the floor, you'd boot their sorry ass out the door! Probably no one would complain about your doing that. Pissing on the floor is not acceptable. If they think it is, it's up to them to find a place where they can do that. Trust me, there's a party for EVERYONE out there somewhere. They're not forced to stay at yours.
As far as Jim goes, I thoroughly disagreed with his position on the Jew issue. I never posted on the subject because replies seemed to fuel him. Frankly, I thought his bladder would eventually empty. And perhaps it might have at some point. I must say though, for some reason I was kind of sorry to see him go. Something about his personality was kind of endearing. Don't ask me to explain! I may not have "known" him as well as the rest of you, so my perception might not be as well rounded.
I guess the point I'm rambling about is that regardless of anything, it's your party Simon. Speaking for myself, I'm happy to be here and will support you.
