Quote from bzod99:
Candle,
This is not about Bush or Kerry. This is not about free speech. This is not about rational discourse, or whether ET is the right forum for such discourse (even in the Chit Chat area). This is about what happens when you post a flame poll, then troll for responses, and continue to press buttons when you get those responses. Any attempts to claim otherwise are noise.
When you crawl back under your rock this evening, a contented smile on your lips after your successes today, I hope that you harness some of your keen intellect to consider why some could become incensed and (over-react) to your bile today.
If that is not possible, then how about considering this; if, hypothetically, we were ever to cross paths, I would find it hard not to beat the living sh!t out of you. Does that help bring it in to focus?
