For the record, the comments made here and elsewhere have made it clear that racism was a very unlikely factor in this incident.
I only commented in response to f row crew’s comment about passion, with no rebuttal of BI’s claim about racism being involved. It should be expected with the internet, I guess, but it still staggers me how some people seem to deliberately miss the point for their own signalling of virtue for how superior they are to others they are interacting with. The point I was making should have been obvious; that passion doesn’t excuse more unsavoury accusations made by BI, assuming that they were true (remember, I had no way of verifying what BI had said). There was no definitive claims made by myself (hence the if), precisely because there was no evidence of racism. However, it would be rash of me to discount it until the story became more clear.
If you want to accuse someone of virtue signalling, JI, I say take a look at yourself in the mirror, for it is you who has tried to take the high ground over others based on behaviour and opinions, not myself, who has not accused fans or anyone of anything (the if was carrying a lot of weight in my original comment). ;-)
Maybe in future I should form definitive opinions based on nothing to prove the ‘balanced’ individuals like JI! :-)
