You learn all sorts of things by reading Mudcat threads.

On another recent thread i've learned that Richard doesn't seem to care for people who are "loud mouthed (sic) obnoxious, tasteless and violent".

Perhaps he should look in the mirror.

Thread started by Mr. Bridge.

"Obama: coconut.   White on the inside...."    (I'm sorry I misquoted earlier.   The word he uses is "coconut", not "oreo"

But it's interesting that Barack Obama appears not to be black enough for Richard's taste.

First I thought Mr. Bridge was showing that he was a (genteel) racist.

But perhaps he is only bidding to be a "chav".

Obnoxious?    Check.    Tasteless?.    Check.

Loudmouthed?    Well on Mudcat the way to prove this, it would seem would be to start pointless, aggressive threads on extremely questionable topics.    Like this current thread, for instance. As opposed to "Cuba:   Socialist Paradise", for instance, which deals with a legitimate topic here.

At any rate, Mr. Bridge, having started 2 threads which fit the above criteria (that I know of) fits that requirement also.

Fascinating that in both threads he seeks to destroy the reputation of a black man.    Hence the suspicion of "genteel" racism.

Violent?   Who knows?   Not as far as we've seen so far.

But 3 out of 4 ain't bad.

Perhaps he's 3/4 of a ''chav".

Or perhaps he just has no sense of judgment.   He can't help expressing himself in crass and clumsy ways.

I trust he shows better judgment with his clients. Otherwise he would have none.
