Just to update/clarify, I have received an off-list apology from
AndrewStalewski.
He says that his (I would say not very well worded) intent was to
agree with me that, whilst RadStats is an appropriate platform for
discussing any genuinely statistical issues which arise out of the
issues, it is _not_ an appropriate place for discussing issues such
as racism and antisemitism themselves (for discussions of which there
are countless 'appropriate' platforms), stressing that the comment
about "going elsewhere" was not (despite appearances) directed at me.
Kind Regards,
John
