No, everyone has the right to complain. What I meant was is that often what should constitute as offensive is subjective.
Although there are cases where it is pretty clear something is offensive...like calling someone a n-lover for example.
What I was saying is that "subjectivity" is often the rallying cry of those who would abuse free speech for their own nefarious purposes.
I don't purport to know where the line is, only to suggest that there has to be a line and saying that it is subjective is not an excuse for not drawing it.
I think most reasonalbe people would agree that calling someone a N-Lover is over the line for even a private forum.
Yet, no one but you and I seemed to object to it.
Originally posted by darvlayI said your actions were hypocritical more than twice. You need to learn to count.
He's also called me a hypocrite twice in one day.
Is calling someone a hypocrite name-calling?
Is calling someone a hypocrite then speaking against name-calling being an actual hypocrite?
(The irony blows your mind, doesn't it?)
If you don't want to hear the truth then stop being hypocritical.

Originally posted by Red NightI say things the way I say things, to the extent of my percieved intellectual ability, the way I see myself. I have no intention of persuading him or convincing him, they way I think, feel or what I say, and vice versa. If he feels he's right, then so be it. Who am I to say, he can't think, feel, or that can't be saying this or that? I don't know him, and he doesn't know me.
I should warn you the logic and reason don't work on defrauder.
he is impervious to both.

This is getting better and better. Please if anyone out there cares, send me a PM occasionally, to let me know and remind me, that my name is Bindi. Just in case I forget and get lost in this quagmire of foolishness and trolling.
