Thread Name: Question for Joe Offer
Subject: RE: Question for Joe Offer
Dear Guest,

I guess the information I gave you earlier wasn't sufficient to meet all your concerns, so I will add some more reccomendations.

1) If you want to discuss the anti-Semitism on the two threads you've mentioned, then you might either post to the threads they are in; and tell us, via this thread, which threads you are talking about; start a new thread to discuss anti-Semitism; or any combination of the above.

2) To handle concerns in the slightly more reserved media of Personal Messages, you need to become a member. Becoming a member also conveys to folks that you want to be considered a Mudcat member, not just somebody dropping by for a lark.

3) I think mixing up the issue of anti-Semitism in threads with the issue of how quickly or how heavy-handedly Joe uses his editorial priviliges is like trying to add apples and oranges. Joe is not responsible for putting anything anti-Semitic in any thread. Neither Joe, Max, nor any other of the elves are OBLIGED to keep a constant watch on the forum, to rapidly delete anything offensive. We Mudcatters are all responsible to respond to threads in the best way we know, whether that is to ignore the offensive thread, challenge the offensive material, or send a Personal Message to the poster of the offensive material, or to Joe, Max, or Pene.
