I have friends with British origins, and I frequently bitch, whine, piss, and moan to them about British assholes (arseholes) on Mudcat, but for the record, let me state that this is like any other stereotype. There are maybe 5 or 6 persistent British fuckwits. I think there are at least as many US ones, but it's a different brand of fuckwittery. While there are loads of current and former British people here who post sane messages and show respect for people, and a refreshing lack of obsession with particular subjects, the 5 or 6 British fuckwits post more messages in a day than most sane ones post in a month... maybe sometimes a year. They're the ones who get noticed, and the nice ones don't. I know very well I'm talking about a very small minority.

Dave, we get it. You have different beliefs about what "free speech" means.
What you don't get is that Mudcat is physically located in the US, created and owned by a citizen of the US who was raised in the US, and that's why "free speech" at Mudcat is not just the nice words, or the ones you approve of, and we aren't going to change things because a few people think the world should work the way THEY want it to.

...and what happens when you shout "bigot" at someone is that it gets louder for a while.
...and anybody who thinks going after people they think are bigots on a music website is any better than sitting in an armchair is really clueless about the fact you can screw around on the internet while ass-rooted in an armchair.
