you know what i am DEEPLY OFFENDED by your disregard for freedom and liberty and free speech....i guess anytime someone COULD be offended we must censor our selves...we also should have to carry around handbooks that teach us how to be politically correct since that seems to be what you want....


what are you going to do now that you have DEEPLY OFFENDED ME....i mean think of how your statement (a perfect stranger mind you) AFFECTED ME.....


here is the deal you want to live in a free society you are going to have to deal with being offended from time to time get over it and get over your self...no one cares enough about you to censor themselves so they dont offend you or anyone else we dont care about....

Not to get in the middle of a BS argument, but unless bongo is just classless in everythoing he does, his comment directed at raaaid was asked BECAUSE he's mentally 'different.' It was insulting and mean spirited based upon his perception of raaaid's mental abilities.

That has nothing to do with free speech and everything to do with respect. Do I think it should be edited or censored? No. But I see nothing wrong with others expressing their displeasure at a crass comment.

Personally, I don't get offended at chat room antics, but I'd expect a little higher decorum than the typical Youtube comments I see sometimes here. Is it that hard to treat others with the dignity and respect you wish to be treated with.



Regarding Raaaid being a troll: I've 'known' him since 2002. I can't remember anytime he's purposely assualted another forum member. Even when he's attacked he more often takes it with a grain of salt. Yeah. He's a different bird, but I like the guy.
