Anytime someone posts to a thread or starts a thread that has bigotry, hatred, slander, etc., it is most likely started with the intent to get a rise out of the folks reading the post. It is a very difficult thing to just let it go, a tactic that Joe has been a proponent of for as long as I've been hanging around Mudcat. For Joe to respond, albeit in another thread, tells me that this time the combination of threads, remarks, and hate were over his personal threshold for trolls. I feel for ya Joe. As much as we all try to just walk away and ignore the trolls, it's just not always possible. It's nice to know that you're human however...*BG*
