Thanks for the back-up proof, I certainly wasn't joking!
I think we needed more stringent control as far as hate speech went with that site (but SA needs that politically in general). But otherwise, it was a great media-watchdog, and an intellectual challange.
I am a liberal, multi-culturalist academic, but I couldn't call myself "liberal" if I didn't stand up even for unpopular speech.

Just my humble opinion....
Multiculturalism kills a civilization. Check your history books, it has killed every civilization, every one! Used as a good thing, pure multiculturalism, like pure communism is possible, just extremely improbable in our world. We would have to make greed and avarice illegal and we all know that won't happen.
In our world, multiculturalism is a weapon used by government to fracture society, eg. insure that groups alienate and do not cooperate. Five major multi-culti groups will not agree on almost everything, getting two to agree is possible but improbable. Hence, the government rules by a loosy goosy and fabricated consensus. To enforce and solidify multiculturalistic paradigms, read nonsense, we get hate crimes. So now a racist is more evil than a murderer. Read the news.
With multiculturalism there can only be one form of racist applied to one breed of humans, which is racist in itself, but the liberal PC apologists always have some totally false or fabricated reason why that is so. Every color, every creed and every religion in the world in all recorded history have had slaves and have been racist. It is the natural predisposition of humans to establish a civilization and subjugate the weaker peoples.
In South Africa the "indigenous" population is ridiculously xenophobic, read racist, to anyone from any other country. Alternative Action programs are meant to help minorities, but in SA, it's backwards, it helps majorities. And what happens if one group is smarter than the rest? Well, let's lower education standards, we wouldn't want to offend anyone now would we?
This is what multiculturalism does, it fractures societies and it dumbs down the population to allow for easier puppet government control by the IMF, just look at what is happening in the US, Canada and Europe. Governments, banks and corporations are getting away with the equivalent of (financial) murder and what do the sheople do? Look up.....

I don't know so much, but I've read Chris-Steyn Barlow: "Publish and be Damned". She speaks of a group known as "Die Wyse Manne" (The wise men).
Most history can also no longer deny CIA influence on "our SA" affairs.
Apartheid never ended, just the faces of some double-agents changed color.

I would disagree that multiculturalism always leads to social collapse - unless we define the term more fittingly.
From my standard history Europeans got a lot from other cultures. Europe gathered knowledge and goods from Middle-eastern culture, and later from the Columbian exchange. If it wasn't for the multi-cultural milieu of Roman culture, Christianity wouldn't have spread.
Many other societies, like Saudi Arabia still practice cultural segregation. I don't want to live in such a society - so viva multi-culturalism! It is worrying when one culture gains protection over another - that is racism.
On SA: At the time of white colonialisation the only indigenous peoples were the "Khoisan". They were terrified of the black "Nguni" tribes who had moved into SA since the 17th Century from the Congo. King Shaka wiped out 25 tribes and moved the blacks into their current tribal positions. When whites entered the interior after 1850 it was largely uninhabited and un-productive.
