I guess freedom of speech, if and only if it doesn't offend? If you really
got that offended by what I said, and this is the last time I will speak
to
you on this matter (period), then block my messages from being downloaded
on
your computer, or do not read them; however, you should not try to censor
anybody.

I am not trying to censor you, Clint. I am just highly offended by the
use
of the word out of context. It is not a matter of freedom of speech, it
is
a matter of decency. You could have easily chosen to use another word to
characterize the pro-code side of this debate and still made your point.
That's all I'm saying.

Arnie,
Unfortunately we have too many people in this country who think freedom of
speech takes precedence over common decency. They don't realize or don't
care that by being inconsiderate in their choice of words or analogies that
people will discount what they say. It is more important to them to do it
their way rather than in a way that will get the audience on their side.
What these free speech hypocrites don't seem to get, is that it works
both ways. While they insist on calling us Nazi's, they consider our
objections and replies to their repulsive comments to be denying them
their free speech. It is not. That is an example of free speech in
action. Everyone has their say. Just as they can call us Nazi's, we can
object.
