As to you or you all assuming me to be a racist if I didn't consider that this thread "spoke well of Mudcat", all I will say to that is assuming doesn't make it so. The proof is in the pudding.

I think you have this wrong. I meant that if you have not posted your approval - should we have considered that you thought us to be racist? Did we need your approval or disapproval?

Perhaps I am not explaining this well? It is a bit like receiving a post out of the blue saying that you are forgiven - when you are not sure what you may have needed to be forgiven for. Or indeed forgiven by.

Equally a post out of the blue saying that you were not forgiven - would tend to have a similar result.
