Hmm, well I have gone back and looked at some of my um you might say...insults. Here is one that would in my opinion be a "hard core" insult to one of my rightwing sparring partners. (Of whom I consider a good friend and a great ideological sparring partner.)

(Insert name here) At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought.
Everyone on this board is now dumber for having read it.

So the question is this: Is the above a nasty "personal" insult? Or is it a nasty response to a statement, an idea, or a remark? Comments please?

I'm with Webster 100% on his statement:

"If you don't like it, don't sit at that table. No one's twisting arms. We've got enough politically correct rules in this world about censorship, we don't need another one."

Take say...a hockey game. Ever play hockey? here in the north country on the Canadian border it's in our blood. People pay good money to see a hard fast mean game. And the players LOVE it.

Now suppose rules came down saying: NO fast skating, NO pushing, NO bumping into each other, NO yelling insults, NO checking, NO icing, and on and on and on.

Play according to these rules OR we will ban hockey. I think you get my drift here...and, guess what. People who don't like hockey, people who don't like to play hockey, people who feel uncomfortable around hockey, those people don't go into hockey arenas, and they don't play hockey.

Some folks with easily wadded panties might think it insulting.  If you and I were having some cool ones jabbing back and forth at each other, I think such a remark would be worth at least a giggle.

I might respond with old saw about your brain on the razor blade,.. or some such.

Anyway, I feel that folks who get all whiny and offended by remarks written on a computer screen in a forum populated by S40/LS650 riders are letting themSELVES get upset, and do not have a sufficient appreciation for the big picture.

Now,... if you started slinging epithets at my position in the boxers vs briefs debate, I might get a trifle agitated.

Now what fun would that be?
