Excuse me, Jason, but if I had admonished a person who was engaging in hate
speech against blacks, or gays, or Jews, or women--
No one would have objected. And no one would be suggesting that I admonish
that person in a different forum where no one goes and that no one ever
reads.
In case you hadn't noticed, this is a discussion list dedicated to Linux and
other Unix-like operating systems. It is not a political forum, and it is
certainly not a symposium for hate speech.
I would REALLY like it if we wouldn't discuss politics here.
And for the record, Larry Price and I did take the discussion off-list.
