"Would that include inflammatory names like 'Jom' and 'Jimmie', clearly jibes aimed at an individual because of his Irish heritage and domicile?"

Hardly.I have been called inanes by numerous posters. I also have Irish heritage and am domiciled there, so what?
Inflammatory names are racist, nazi, antisemite, You know. the ones that a certain person flavours every post with. Mispelling a name or using the diminutive is hardly in the same league as the insults above.

I think I can say with a degree of certainty, I have been to more countries, worked with more nationalities been exposed to more cultures and religions than most posting here. This makes me acutely aware of the sensibilities of differing cultures. As a result I am very wary about placing any sort of political label on anyone posting on this forum beyond left or right. I do think a couple posting here have given premier displays of hypocrisy. Very impressive!
