Of course not. That wasn't fair in the least... at least not for the majority.
I believe everyone should be able to express their point of view on any matter. Of course the line should be drawn at physical violence... As that's not "speech."

Nope
I didn't start these attacks, you did; Out of the blue and with no personal provocation. So guess what? I can play that game too.
Again, how big of an ******* do you have to be to brag about using bankruptcies to "make a fortune". Is that your way to "fortune and glory"?
And how good is your life when you've got nearly 60,000 posts on an internet forum. Do you ever go outside?
If we get into a lifestyle comp you will end it with a "who cares."
Regarding PC language
We shouldn't judge a book by its cover but sometimes we do.
And I suppose we shouldn't judge a person by the words they use, but sometimes we do. Particularly if it's someone we don't know whose overall views are unfamiliar to us.
It boils down to a matter of respect, and that works both ways. A speaker shows respect to the subject under discussion by using acceptable language; listeners are likely to show less respect to a speaker who chooses to use inflammatory words and language, unless they already share the same beliefs.
Those who get overly excised over political correctness should pay more attention to the underlying issues.
If you're trying to convince people that your viewpoint has merit, it's best not to use inflammatory rhetoric at either extreme of the p/c spectrum.

Not even close.
Wow... that is truly some THIN skin there breh. That all started because I offended you with a "You are."
But I'm sorry though. Srsly. My bad. Peace.
So cocksure, aren't you? Maybe I'll bite. Maybe we'll even put a wager on it and let the board decide.
Points of disagreement. There is no consensus on what language is "acceptable" and what language isn't. There will never be as people are offended by different things. Nor is there consensus on how respect is shown. If some comes at me plain and honest, even if the opinion is ugly, that shows respect. They are treating me as an adult that can handle a tough opinion. Not with kid gloves by coddling their opinion. There is a gap there IMO. A rather large one.
Now obviously that doesn't cover being a jerk, racist...
I've decided. I don't care.
Those that laugh at the "you are" type posts.
There's no right way or wrong way, but I will try to be less offensive to those here that may take it wrong.
Oh, and NAOS. He's in that group too.. that we can beat up on and he laughs it off.
And franklin.
Any many more.
