Super. When you have a forum in which anybody is free to sign up and post anything they want, there are bound to be some racist and bigoted remarks. But the forum has always done an excellent job of removing anything that needs to be removed and banning anyone who needs to be banned, while still allowing a lot of free speech and argument.

The moderators have been very good at understanding where to draw the lines, which is one reason why we have so many different groups represented here--Catholics, Protestants, Jews, agnostics, atheists; whites, blacks, hispanics, and nearly any other ethnic group or nationality you can name; men, women, old people, students, military; it's a remarkable mix.

Furthermore, the regular posters have done an excellent job of making it clear that such posts are not welcome here, as well. When posts of that type are made (rarely, I'm glad to say), the regulars flame the snot out of the jerk and ping the moderators.
