38. Let's review these "insults"
Sun Jun 22, 2014, 03:09 PM

Your insults: "bitterness and hatred;" "And your insult-filled response is no surprise. It's just who you are.'

"You are consumed by hatred. It shows in your every post. You should have that looked at."

What I said about you: "word police" and "thin-skinned." I never accused you of calling women a .c...t, and I made that clear in my follow up response to you. I was very clear that I was talking about the ongoing discussion that liberalism requires free use of such words, and you yourself posted an OP in defense of the rude pundit (which I told you previously I had not read, so I couldn't comment on its content."

You also told me " You have no right to tell anyone how to act." I told no one how to act. I gave my views--speech to which you say I have no right.

I see now I misunderstood your point about making fun of people in HOF. You meant to say that while in HOF I make fun of people. (The placement of modifiers in English alter the meaning of a sentence. Hence my misunderstanding). What we have spoken about recently in HOF is the irony of some decrying censorship while calling for bannings and/or telling people they have no right to speak. You yourself just did the latter in in this very exchange. We named no one by name but spoke about an overall hypocrisy, which some clearly resent being pointed out. Pointing out irony is not telling people to act. I challenge you to provide a quote from this exchange with you that constitutes telling anyone how to act.

As for insults, those are yours. You are the one who made the insults but your comment reveals perfectly what this whole thing is about. People think they should be free to insult others without comment, but if anyone objects, that speech is invalid, has no right to exist. It is all about the importance of self over others.

You champion the Rude Pundit but denounce my speech which doesn't rise to that level of insult or vulgarity. You supported the thread with a hole host of vulgarities, but claim my speech is without rights. You do not support free speech. You support yourself and people like you, but not the speech of those who dare to disagree.
