this is a relief. I was worried I was too anodyne or that I hadn't made myself clear enough.

maybe related to the fact that it seems to have been posted on hn. you probably don't want to read the comments. news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4977...

Not sure if you're seeking to engage on your article. I largely agree what you're saying, don't be afraid to show someone the door. But the problem is that it's easy to label someone a racist and discard whatever they're doing/thinking without further discussion.

For example, your article mentions that DHH says Black people aren't native Brits but I don't see the word black in the article you're referring too, so you lost me there. I think in this day we should also stimulate "assume good intent" and honest pursuit of mutual understanding.

do read jakelazaroff.com/words/dhh-is... it's absolutely fair

if you don't live in the UK, you might also miss the significance of his endorsement of straight racists and nazis (I'm not exaggerating or using these words for effect) in what he says about the Tommy Robinson march

That could very well be, don't know who that is
