In case anyone is in any doubt, the thread Azizi referred to was "Loyal Slaves" in which I called her up over her attempt to edit a post by another member to suit her agenda.

Azizi immediately started to infer that I had called her a racist.
I was then subjected to a personal attack from Mick, one of the Mudcat moderators, who suggested that I "have been a thinly disguised bigot, and the place would be better off without you."

I was also attacked and portrayed as a racist by several others whom I wont bother naming
Now, don't get me wrong, what these people think is of no consequence to me and I wouldn't think of complaining, but when newbies read this thread I want them to understand that a lot of the nasty language comes not from guests, but from the "old guard".

I would also like to say that in my years here, to the best of my knowledge, I have never had a post purposely deleted for any reason and for the most part Joe is fair and more importantly, understands what the members are saying.

I would hate to see the guests banned,as some of the most original and entertaining posts come from them...Ake
