"...he’s been forced to step down because of a misjudgement when he called someone and ‘angry ape’ on Twitter" He didn't call someone an 'angry ape'. He used a well-known Shakespeare quote which essentially says a little knowledge is a dangerous thing. The quote has the words 'angry ape' in them, but it is a leap too far to suggest he called the other...

Bobbisox kindly awarded me Best Answer, an answer that discussed the topic, did not deviate, was not abusive to any other member, and was within the Site Rules, and it has been censored by its removal.
My perfectly reasonable thoughts on the subject were clearly upsetting to the censor for some reason.

I have reinstated the "Best Answer". I have amended the answer and do not feel like it is a breach of the Site Rules anymore.

TheDevil - // Well are we sure Shakespeare wasn't a known racist? //
As I pointed out earlier, Shakespeare was absolutely a racist, but that was in keeping with the times in which he lived, and the people to whom he wished to appeal with his plays.

But that was a different time, and being 'racist' was not an issue.
