Excuse me if I was offensive with the cretin reference, Mr Mc Grath. I am angry. If this was hurtful I apologise. See how easy it is? You say something is offensive, I apoogise I don't do it again if I realise it is offensive. That seems the civilised thing to do to me. Your defensive of The freedom to be offensive is a paradox to me, however. Just where does this stop? What is appears is that the bullys are protected at the expense of all the others..if bully is offensive,I hardly know how to discribe them otherwise.

I a real three dimensional world, these people can be dealth with"

If a heckler continues harrasment in a club, someone ultimately takes the initiative to stop this one person from ruining the evening for all the others.

If you are at a party or another social situation, you cna politely walk away from someone who is being rude, loud or telling offensive jokes.

SOciety has ways of dealing with these people in the real world.

In here, how can it be accomplished? I am asking a real question. One person has the ability of wrecking the entire website if he or she wants to, and I really don't see how it can be solved. But I will say one thing, if it doesn't get solved soon, there will be a steady exit of folks who don't need to be exposed to the gutter.
