Thanks (Mr Kasperov) for the lesson in democracy and freedom of speech [img]smile.gif[/img] - of course in making your post you realise that you are calling for the repression of my opinion this making the arguments you have thrown up very circular indeed.
The joke is not what I suggested issue with - it is the headline. Fortunately no-one seems to have taken major issue with it, and for that I am thankful but not repentant for expressing my thoughts. It could quite easily have blown into touchiness and accusations - such things have been known in the past you know - it would require very little digging to throw up several examples if you want to visit Current Events.
When things start falling under the banners of respect for individuals and others - well then you get people turning to the TOS.
Sorry for opening my mouth to correct any misapprehensions you have - but it was needed
.
Edit : Additional - when I started writing this response the last post on this topic was the guy I was responding to. After I hit the post button I noticed that I had support - and I mean MAJOR support [img]smile.gif[/img] . Thank you my beautiful angels (big smooches to Elflet and Cloudlet) for your stirling defence of my efforts at diplomacy.
