Sorry MTed, but you don't come off as the soul of tolerance and understanding for the other guy's point of view either.
I just reviewed the enitre thread and found only one post where Loopy stated an opinion and I found nothing that could be classed as class/race OR religious bigotry. He did put several statements of his opinions in quotation marks; eg....You'd all be saying;"That moron Bush..." Many people use this device with varying degrees of sucess. This hardly constitutes, in my view, a reason to abolish free speech. It DOES constitute a shining example of the logic fallacy; argumentum ad hominem; discredit the man and you discredit his argument.
Just because a man is wrong much of the time, it does not mean that he is wrong all of the time. Even a blind pig will find an acorn if he roots long enough.
Loopy's other long post was mostly an answer to YOUR post and,in my opinion he acquited himself fairly well.
You have, in the past, posted some reasonably intelligent ideas. Go get some rest. Name calling serves no good purpose and alienates everyone.
Loopy, cool the rhetoric. Feelings are running high right now. You can make your points in a less vehement way and still get them across.
Keep this up and one of you is going to say something you'll regret. Apologizing is not an easy thing to do and crow tastes awful.
As I know all too well.
