(1,349 posts)I'm saying that if dictionary definitions are going to be referenced, that when other people express that they're troubled by such insults that they too have the right to say what troubles them, without being attacked.
I believe that words are insulting, no matter who utters them. I'm not sure what "!u" words mean, and it's hard to extrapolate what the typo was referring to in context.
Everyone has the right to express their opinions without being called names or accused of "hate" or of being "trolls", Russian or otherwise.
I think many of the words being used here at those expressing their anger and annoyance of over someone calling President Obama "distasteful" for doing something perfectly normal. It implies something rather insulting, and the word used is in and of itself an insult. It's not a crime for someone to state the obvious.
Where did I suggest any challenge to your rights to say anytying? I'm truly confused as to where you're getting that from.
