Ross McDermott:

Hello Tom,

Yes I did remove your post on LondonTopic.ca, and I will honestly tell you why -- its not because your comment itself was racist (though your reference Zimbabwe was definitely close) but you're name is synonymous with white supremest and hate material both here in London and abroad. Having said that, you are more than welcome to post, but I suggest you use an alias of some sort, perhaps just Tom would suffice. Additionally, please refrain from any suggestion or hint of racial prejudice within your comments. They will not be published.
Your most recent comment is more of a question directed at me (at least in the end) and not a comment. That question, in my opinion, hints at racism and I will not respond. I do not respond to comments posted on the site nor is the comment section on LondonTopic.ca intended to be used as a discussion forum. I will post it, but it will be edited.

I hope this helps explain my reasoning.

Thanks,

Ross McDermott
