Whilst I can understand durruti calling myself and mike_d liars, I am
surprised that opprobium believes him.

The ground for hiding was that the article claimed inaccurately that the
EDL isn't racist. The evidence that they are is on several threads on IMC
UK as is every single point that durruti made in the article, as the links
I provided show. The 'debate' has happened over several threads, and
another thread is unlikely to resolve it. Thus it is also repeated content
and the only thing that would come out of leaving it up is yet another
trolled to death thread.

My recollection of the consensus reached about IMC UK remains that we are
a newswire and not a bulletin board or discussion forum.
