Also from me (this thread.)
I do not "defend Bluesman's racist diatribe"
You lie.

"Jim, I am with you in deploring the use of pejorative names for this or other minorities.
Bluesman, your abusive language makes decent people unwilling to offer their views.

I again deplore Bluesman's abusive language

Jim, Bluesman's nastiness aside, this is a serious issue that members will naturally want to discuss.

Keep my name out of your posts Bluesman.
We have nothing in common."
