From Richard: "I don't believe that a civilised society should tolerate racism bigotry or fascism, or indeed, their supporters. Even the USA, the vanguard of "free speech", racial abuse is forbidden."


I fully agree.

It is the only reason why I rarely post here now, and then, only as a 'guest' for I refuse to belong to any community where this type of speech is tolerated. Sadly, it has been tolerated here for way too long, to the point where the person who does it now almost holds this site to ransom. If anyone dares to disagree with his foul posts and they are usually SO foul that they cannot be ignored (as well he knows) then the thread is usually closed very fast. Of course, he knows this will happen, which is why he behaves this way, laughing from the security of being hidden away behind his screen.

I have strong principles and I find it nigh on impossible not to tell foul-minded folk what I think of their racist, abusive behaviour.

It's very hard to run a site when you have a poster of this depth of nastiness. I do not know why he is permitted to still come to Mudcat. I think he has driven a lot of good people away. The gift of free speech, for me, does not entail the ABUSE of that gift.

And now, back to closed threads...........
