Should Rodney be banned (or worse??)?

In light of the unusually large number of complaints (i.e., two hundred and twenty-seven, though all from the same email address – large Catholic family, we’re guessing) about Rodney Trotter's offensive blogging, we’ve asked Robert Plant (no, not the legendary lead singer of Led Zeppelin but Cabbie no. 239087 with Coda Cabs, West Bromwich) to comment on the use of satire and irony to provoke people to think. Robert, or should I call you `Mr Plant, sir’: what do you think?  Should Rodney be fired, along with other non-referential linguistic constructs on Ref21?  And irony and satire? For saints or for sinners?
