Robert, I think you need to take a look at Ascan's post again. You took one part of his post, out of context, and became offended by it. Do you see the little sentence at the end, that goes: "But that's obviously in a European context."
He was stating how it looks to him, as a european, and that its also just a point of view. He wasn't vilifying or making a personal attack based on race. You, on the otherhand, did exactly that.
Well done to the Moderators!

I didn't vote because I'm undecided. Maybe withdraw the warning in favor of an advisory?

What you said was a personal attack. Things Sean says might be annoying but they aren't personal attacks.

'Even racists can write good articles. I sometimes wonder which is the worst: "racism" or the systematic destruction of your country and it's peoples' way of life to make way for a bunch of foreigners hell bent on Jihad.

But that's obviously in a European context.'

I would not, nor will not vote one way or the other until I saw the official warning in its entirety.

To see only your side of the issue does not tell me anything about what happened.

Also, you may think that I am a right-winger but you will learn that I actually am more of a moderate. I have views that coiencide with the liberals and I have views which coincide with the conservatives. I am not part of any particular political party and vote base on the whole picture, not one or 2 issues. That is why I want to see both sides.
