Is anyone else besides me offended by this? Is this venom any less
hateful that racial epithets, and is it allowed on this list? I come
here to be informed not insulted.
Heh. Of course that would be offensive to many people, but many people
aren't on this list. Folks on Apple-type lists tend to hold views
which, if not necessarily in agreement with Michelle's, at least see
them in the way a fond mother sees a naughty child. And no mother, no
matter what naughtiness her child has got up to, takes a keen eye
toward others reprimanding him. Hence, you've been shouted down. ;)
Bearing in mind the freedom of speech we enjoy on this list, one can
only imagine that the equally silly (and imaginary) sig:
Al Gore == Ted Kaczynski == Usama Bin Laden
would receive as little off-topic attention as Michelle's have until
today.
Independently yours,
Mike
