Thank you for your answer; it has almost as many holes in it as the your idea, (which has been discussed on here for at least 10 years), that you are trying to bludgeon through, regardless of the opposition, legal considerations and how many members you will lose.

I am deeply concerned that the FRA is saying that people from certain cultures and religions should not join the forum. Is this legal? I doubt it under race discrimination laws. Prospective members will view what you said as racist, and whilst that probably wasn't what you meant your ill-considered reply has set us back years

Before I started racing, I read every single post on every single thread of this forum. I am sure that there will be some people doing something similar. Reading a large number of a person's post reveal a lot about their character. If any prospective members have read your post they are probably thinking 'Maybe not' about joining now
