The problem with this sentence isn't just the syntax, already noted by Andrew, it's the fact it's false. I never made the least statement on whether the JP is "a racist" or otherwise - in fact I never use the term (other than in quotations) since it's as content-free as assorted other insults thrown around the internet, like "nazi", not to mention other insults seen only on this thread like "rapist" (sic). Please check your statements before posting them.
Since Joe is here, though, I want to ask whether, if it can be shown that the JP resigned after receiving threats, whoever issued such - hypothetical - threats can be prosecuted. I do recall a New Zealand poster making indirect threats right here, but given the distance involved that's irrelevant.
