So, what you're saying is that free speech can only be defended by beating
someone up.....or being beaten up.....in a face to face confrontation? But
then, it isn't really punishment, is it? I guess I probably wouldn't tell
you to your face that the logic you display above is twisted. Personally, I
think that isn't necessarily a matter of balls.



Then maybe you can explain to me what it is?

This is the "trouble" I have with you and it's a behavior that makes no
sense to me. What's ironic, is that I agree with the position you take
in many situations, however, what I don't understand and find
distasteful is the manner in which you do it. I've discussed your name
calling/insulting behavior on ROFF with a number of people who have
spent time with you and their response is that you act in a completely
different manner in person. For me, the way you treat people on the
internet is just as much a part of "who you are" as how you treat people
face to face. I don't understand what you hope to achieve with your
personal insults and name calling. Sure, you can do it, it's "FREE
SPEECH" but IMO, it's also totally counter productive if you have a goal
of something other than ****ing people off.
