Numberwang has a clear anti-left, far right agenda and most of his threads are just hit pieces. Of course he never reveals his own opinion about those things because he knows they will get him in trouble in this forum. Looking at his thread history shows hitpiece after hitpiece against the left, PC culture, equality, multiculturalsim etc.
His most famous British "rape culture" thread was nothing more than an attack against foreign minorities and the allegedly inaction of evil leftists, insinuating that people were deliberately covering up the crimes. All the while hiding behind this "innocent" post about a terrible tragedy. Mods came into the thread believing the thread was about the victims when it was a thinly veiled attack against an ideology he doesn't agree with, using the victims as his political playballs. But by never saying a thing, he could just claim it was all about the poor victims when he himself knows that wasn't true.
Now I'm not sure if the mods deliberately ignored the true intention of the thread to just calm things down or if it was ignorance. Future handling of his threads could be easily improved by having a look in Numberwang's thread and posting history to see his clear agenda and his obvious disinterest in any kind of meaningful disussion.
