Give it a break! Shove your ideas of moral turpitude on people who actually believe it....

Oh puhleeze. More of this crap where a moral person isn't allowed to express themselves because it might harsh somebody's buzz. Man up a little there, princess.

“Free speech includes not only the inoffensive but the irritating, the contentious, the eccentric, the heretical, the unwelcome and the provocative, provided it does not intend to provoke violence. Freedom only to speak inoffensively is not worth having.” --Lord Justice Sedley:

It certainly applies here, but if the words written with the key board would draw a likely violent reply if uttered in person, then it is not proper speech as your quote illustrates.

Peruse the posters assertions of a directly personal nature and you will see that. If you don't then you are using the quote as justification for personal attacks to cover a lack of knowledge on the subject matter and what can only be identified as salacious and specious argument to elicit a anger response.

In other words.......trolling....
