Offended by the opinions expressed or the words used? The name-calling has
been pretty much equal IMHO. If you're offended by the actual words, then I
think you've missed a larger chance to be offended in Tom's post.

I am offended by the language used (though I consider calling people
asses much more offensive than telling someone to **** off).

I agree that people shouldn't partake in name-calling etc, but to be fair - in
the context of the (heated) debate, the name-calling was not just one-way.
Which I was why I was more offended by the latter post - my opinion :)


I'm also offended by the opinions expressed, however, while I can expect Todd
to do something about the words used (because of the T&C we all agreed to) I
can't expect Todd to do anything about the opinions (other than speak
his own mind about them, which he has).

Agreed too - I think the T&C also cover 'trouble-makers', but again to be
fair, I think Richard Marchetti was right when he said that he'd hit a sore
spot.. and I wouldn't single out anyone to blame for the culminating debate.

(...) Thanks, Richard. I have stated elsewhere that I took pains to NOT particularize the discussion and to avoid the specific mention of anyone by name. Everyone else insisted upon it. They get what they deserve -- my opposition! -- Richard (25 years ago, 29-Mar-00, to lugnet.admin.general)
