Well maybe you find all of what is being written enlighening, but I certainly don't. That is not to say that all posts are in bad taste. And where did I oppose freedom of speech? All I am asking for is that think before you speak. If you are confident that you could say these things freely in front of everybody (who know your name and address), then go ahead and say so. But my guess is that most of the people writing these inflamatory comments are closet machos who would never utter these sentiments in public.
