We don't as a matter of policy censor threads, even ones like this that are highly charged and are inflammatory and offensive. The staff of AF.org values free expression, but we also value the completely understandable feelings of our members and readers for whom this topic may create unwelcome feelings.
If this thread only contained posts from a banned troll, we would have no problem removing them, along with the troll. However, that is not the case, and I personally am loath to remove posts made by our members.
However, as this thread is wholly inappropriate for the Introductions forum, I have absolutely no problem locking the thread in accordance with our policy for this subforum.
