Its a slippery slope when one person is allowed to make insulting remarks towards another. How do we draw the line about what is acceptable and what is not when an insult can pass simply because it can explainified and extrapolated from a persons political opinion or becasue the person on the recieving end doesnt mind?
I agree with skunk alot on these issues in these posts of forum past that have been called into question as """proof""" that skunk is a terror supporter. Does that make me a terror supporter as well? If skunk doesn't mind being called one, I SURE THE HELL DO.
If you disagree with U.S forign policy and Isreali policy in the occupied lands than that automaticcaly make you a supporter of OBL? If trying to understand and explain why so many people hate your nation and way of life that somehow makes you a supporter of wanton death and carnage?
It is clear that calling skunk, and vicariously ME a terror supporter is nothing more than an insult and an argument by ad hominem. Its simply avoiding debating the issues by resorting to petty insults and namecalling.
And Yes, it would take a clear and direct call for support for me to deem the the label 'terror supporter' justified.
Also, I wont speak for skunk, but I plainly recall that he stated unequivocally that he is not a terror supporter and that he finds the violence and death caused by terrorist as tragic as the rest of us.
