Little Hawk, I don't know if it's racism or whatever else might be involved, but what tends to "outrage" me is the obviously hate-filled spreading of blatant lies about someone, whether they are well-known, such as a national politician, or an obscure private citizen. I don't enjoy it at all, but I feel that is one's moral responsibility to try to set the record straight.

And I take a pretty dim view of people who get on someone's case when that someone else speaks out against such such lies, and attempts to set the record straight.

I have recently been the target of lies and slanderous attacks from one particular individual right here on Mudcat. A few people have spoken out, standing up for me, and believe me, I really appreciate it.
