Reality check time for y'all.

Clinton, Mudcat's software can be set to block IPs, because mine have been blocked, sometimes for months at a time, for criticizing Max. Hence, the "personal attack" rule.

However, it has never stopped me from posting, either as a guest or a member.

The actual reality that Azizi and others don't want to accept is that racist posting IS tolerated here, just as sexist posting is.

It is tolerated with the justification "We clones can't do anything to delete a racist/sexist thread once all the Usual Suspects start responding to it."

Which is bullshit, of course. If it were my forum, I'd regularly delete all that crap.

The "personal attack" rule is justification for keeping dissenters in line, and criticism of the leaders of the Mudcat hierarchy in check.

People who post hear do fear being censored, while also wanting others to be censored. Just not for the right reasons ethically.
