@zackattack I understand. It is of no use to argue over this stupid straw man, but I want you to know something. I firmly stand by Voltaire's school of thought and I will defend your right to say this, but I will not defend the ethical implications of it. It's a subtle distinction, but quite an important one at that.

Please try to understand that this wasn't about political correctness, but genuine understanding about the human being on the other side. I don't mind, but someone else can. One can argue that they're weak. That may be the case, but they're still human beings and they deserve respect.

P.S.- I thought that this was HN not 4chan where I have to use such stuff like; watcha doing ya mother-fucking dawg? (Ugh) :)
