Thanks again for your comments. IMO, the quality of this thread's discussion speaks well of Mudcat.

Hmmmmmm? Ponder, ponder.

And if you considered it didn't speak well of Mudcat, could we all then assume that we were all being judged by you as being racist?

Do you think it is better for our forum and possibly safer, to try and avoid making public judgements (well-intentioned or not so well-intentioned) about other posters, on mass or as named individuals?

I feel it would probably cause less trouble if we just tried either to address or ignore what was being said in posts.
