I’ve no idea which or whose post was deleted last week but I agree with MA’s point last week. Tempers may become frayed from time to time but we’re all adults and we ALL - especially you as moderator - should be a bit above the use of derogatory name calling. I wasn’t offended by it, just thought it was inappropriate…from a moderator.

On the other hand if someone behaves in a way which is ‘racist, xenophobic and/or bigoted’ or for that matter ‘naive’ or ‘idealistic’ or ‘arrogant’ - as you described me last week…then so be it. Fair play to call it out…imo.

Personally, I never resort to name calling so I’ll remain unaffected.
…or even ‘liking’. Most certainly not a Freudian slip.
