Thanks Scoots (and others). As I said up top, I would be guided, but not bound, by the results of the poll, so all this discussion about what constitutes a majority is somewhat moot. The main factor guiding my decision is the continuous stance against racism that the fanzine and this site have always held. We couldn't be seen to be condoning Sam's behaviour with inaction.

And Snake - Kelvin writes his own programme notes.

That’s good to hear, and another refreshing change at the top. :D

A very good decision. It's good that other OU fans find racism unacceptable.

Excellent! What could possibly go wrong?
