Walter, I’m going to say we need to apply consistent standards. We didn’t condemn Filip Dewinter based on one statement or one association. Judges are not politicians, and they sometimes babble when in the public and not backed up by their chair, their robes, their normal trappings. I expect judges to occasionally trip themselves up in speech when not in court.

When we went after Filip it was numerous statements, numerous writings, numerous associations, and regular pattern of that over a period of years.

So if you have numerous instances or patterns of bigotry backed with proof I am willing to listen, if you don’t, not so much.
