Well I will add in my "newbi* opinion to this, Being from England I am sort of looking from the outside in, however the UK is the second most involved of Americas allies, so we see a lot.
Now the simple fact is, I think Americans have enough to worry about, and fight with, without people calling each other out on every little thing, I think before you post an attack on some one here for what ever reason you should think about how that makes you look.
Now I have spoken to a few people whome I know from MH who have been attacked over their views on this section and I find it sad.
The one good thing to come from the Terrorist attacks that you have suffered has been that -- over here atleast-- There has been Unity, between all people of all faiths, the free western world seem determined more than ever to show unity through diversity, that is one of the strongest foundations of UK society, we are truly multi cultural and while we dont always follow the same beliefs I respect my Muslim/Buddist/Christian/Jewish/jedi, neighbours for haveing their beliefs and being strong enough to follow them, in this the darkest of times for some.
so yes Ziroc has every right to ban people for haveing no respect for each other this is after all his forum, but I think aslong as you respect each other you can argue a point, that is good, debate and use intellegance and logic and reason to form a good sound argument, you can learn a lot from each other this way. But if you resort to argueing with the person, of besmirching their belifs which they hold true, and which they follow, then you lose any esteem and respect that you should deserve.
Now I have seen attacks on people for their religion, their lack of it, i have seen people called out over christianity, Judaism, Islam, I say if you cant agree with some ones beliefs, respect them, otherwise we become in essance as bad as those fundamentalists who perpatrated the horrific atrocitys of the 11th.
Remember that, before you post inflamed views on another persons way of life, if it doesnt hurt you, why attack it?
