        Re: Schpiffkraft Hakenkreuz —Leonard Hoffman
   (...) Actually, no he isn't. You are. You said "should we restrict someone's right to ACT like a jerk if they want to?" "Act" generally means action, not speech. (...) I'm not sure Nick is advocating the legal restriction of speech in any respect. (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
   
        Re: Schpiffkraft Hakenkreuz —Samuel Morrison
     (...) Pretty simple - if it doesn't hurt anyone to make a statement, it should be protected. But if we start restricting things because it upsets someone, we're starting down a slippery slope. Offensive speech is the only type that really needs (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

      (...) I would imagine it's hurtful to the Jews that survived the camps, as well as Jews in general. But I guess I really don't know. You seem to know what is and isn't hurtful 3o:) This is an emoticon of me teabagging you. It doesn't hurt anyone... (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

      (...) An obscene emoticon! My one weakness! NOOO...OOO!!!!! (19 years ago, 11-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
     
          Re: Schpiffkraft Hakenkreuz —Nick Kappatos
      (...) Obscene emoticons are my super power. They should make comic books about us. (19 years ago, 11-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

         Re: Schpiffkraft Hakenkreuz —Leonard Hoffman
     (...) Again, you're talking about forced restricting. Is it possible that Nick and I are suggesting that Richie should have restricted himself? Also, you forgot to answer the question as to what exactly "speech behavior" is. Either its speech or its (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)

        Re: Schpiffkraft Hakenkreuz —Nick Kappatos
   (...) Correct. The question specifically stated "act". Samuel is framing my answer with what he thought, not what he wrote. (...) I choose not to. You can split hairs all you like, but a symbol represents something. In this case, it represents the (...) (19 years ago, 10-Aug-05, to lugnet.off-topic.debate, FTX)
