If you haven't the moxie to challenge patently racist statements like what was posted , maybe it's you who are not suited to internet discussion ? When someone posts an attack such as that , if no one has the courage to stand up for what's right , the racist statement appears to be condoned by all by the silence of the participants . And sorry pal , I DO NOT condone what was said , and will reserve MY RIGHT to call out ANY bad behavior in any thread I see . Your piddling twaddle about "thread purity" aside , most threads DO drift somewhat , but a REAL MAN speaks up when that drift involves something straight out of a KKK pamphlet !!!!!
Maybe a nice quilting forum would appease your delicate sensitivities ?
