"PS I expect this post to disappear."


It didn't tho', did it Guest, and that was because the language used was NOT offensive, and neither was the content.

Ignoramous, however, seems incapable of expressing his/her opinion without resorting to the use of highly offensive and emotive terms, which tends to
a) Lower the tone of the discussion to the verbal slanging match level (which one must suspect was the intention), and
b) Destroy any credibility which his/her opinion might otherwise have had.

Free speech, I believe relates to the content of the statement, but not to the abysmal choice of terminology.
