It doesn't necessarily have to be racism, but the party did remove a youth member just because he believed in gay marriage, is that correct?

Obviously that has no bare on the voters necessarily, but it does on Farage and the rest of the party.

I have never heard of that so if there is a link?

Every party since time began has paedos, criminals, etc as they reflect society broadly. You have to judge them on their policies and not by the odd crazy member.

..actually I just logged back on....TS, what I mean in self-awareness..(and I feel that you and I do have mutual respect/whatever our topic opinions..)..is that what you want is to be able to say etc for us all to...and yet when members who don't usually post so much in SD section/younger members ..do venture over and post about something they may have an interest in...you not only tell them that it's not important in the grand scheme etc..what they're passionate about...but you ridicule, mock etc how they express themselves and really let them know that they have no place in SD as you see it...so want the 'freedom of speech' as you want it and less restrictive...but have very little tolerance for others...what they post/what they post about etc...

I don't feel TS mocks younger members over how they express themselves, he can express himself on all levels and does regularly I do see mocking and ridicule usually of say JoshBB and it really grinds my gears * family guy reference #downwitthekids * I'm being very honest when I say personally I'm really happy when I see younger members in SD, not so much when it's clearly as a way to blow smoke up another member for just being a forum qween or whatever mind.
Younger members are great, those who start or bleat about SD by making threads to mock or ridicule or trolling topics for the lols not so much... maybe they need a lesson in tolerance?
What mock suggested was succinct and brilliantly put tbh...
'And shouldn't the Forum put in place as the rules that you can call a Political Party anything that you like, but just don't tag it to other Forum Members?'
I 100% agree with that too.
