@MarkMayo no. It was a ... hot question!
I did a google search for "Shinto shrine Australia" (without quotes), and one of the hits included a thread with comments by @jpatokal : flyertalk.com/forum/japan/…

@Flimzy: you seem to have drawn the ire of a certain user lately. Doesn't seem you have flagged the question for mod attention, I only stumbled upon it while browsing the main site. It's best that you flag for mod attention these kinds of situations, even if we end up doing nothing -- personally, I prefer to monitor potentially explosive situations and defuse them before escalating.
FYI, user is suspended for a day for cooling off, having committed another, somewhat related offence

@CGCampbell Wow. I'm surprised anyone reads my blog. Ever. :P
@mindcorrosive Oh I see... you're talking about the question about asian names. I flagged one of his comments as offensive, but then he removed it himself, which handled the flag.
