Yes, I think you may well be first on the list, my friend. It's time for you either to shut up, or to use a name and take responsibility for what you have to say. If you continue to refuse to use a name, you will be come a non-person around here, and every single message you post will be deleted.
Free speech is fine, but you're just a pain in the ass.
-Joe Offer-


From the following thread.

http://www.mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=56969#894819

The whole point about freedom of speech - apart from how those that are lucky enough to have it treat it so casually - and how precious it is to those who do not have it - is that the real test of it - is how you treat the freedoms of those you may not agree with - may not like or who you may consider to be a pain in the ass.

Joe Offer will no doubt - in a conventional post or an editorial comment - give his reasons why he posted this judgement - I will leave you to judge the true extent of his feelings on the subject of free speech.
