It was ignored because this matter was resolved last August; if you still have an issue with this, I suggest that you contact Mick.

I do agree that anyone can suffer at the hands of others (and there are remedies open to those that do), but, it is more likely and is more problematic for the vulnerable in society.

Of course it is, I am severely disabled and have suffered from harrassment etc.

As for the pub user. Yeah I have some empathy for the person. But such is life. Did you think the landlord should have barred all his regulars instead? Or take the easy route and take the cause of the problem out of the equation. What is right or wrong and who's to say what is right or wrong.

It's people like you that do give people that need help a bad name. You don't quite grasp reality because you're wound up in your crusade.
Parliament is the place that decides what is right and wrong and legislates accordingly.

If a black man is subject to racist comments, should an establishment get rid of him if he complains?

It is myself and many others who have ensured that, going forward, people will have formal redress should they experience issues on the internet. It's going to happen whether you like it or not.
