I said I don't care to see pictures of people throwing up you decide to throw one in my face.

It's called FREEDOM OF SPEECH. You have a right to express your displeasure at seeing gross pictures but he has a right to show it. It's part of our rights.

My dear zip, did you really think I didn't understand that?

I then pointed out his showing it was rude. That's MY freedom of speech.

Get it?

The reason I posted the picture was "to illustrate absurdity by being absurd".

I think it's absurd to complain about someone using the word "barf". Yes, a full color picture IS repulsive, as it should be.

But please, a little humor using the word "barf" as in a "barf alert" is not out of place. Is the picture out of place and uncalled for? Yes. Which is why I posted it.

It is a contrast to the petty complaint about a harmless use of the word "barf".
