Hilda, you are a power. I'd be proud to watch your and Azizi's backs.

Incidentally, one of the problems inherent in addressing racist posts is that not everyone sees them before they are deleted. Life being what it is, the targets may see the nasties while other posters may never. Maybe they ought to be kept until people have a chance to react.
One more thing occurs to me: At times I - and I'm sure that I'm not the only one - have gone directly to PM Joe Offer to delete the obscenity. He deleted it swiftly - but not before more Mudcatters had seen it and responded in vehement outrage.

I, on the other hand, am not on record as having responded - because I did the "right" thing. I don't know- I don't have any answers.
