Hee hee. Stinky actually said something like this in response to the complaints.
He'll be glad (or maybe not) to know that at least a few freepers understand this nuanced approach to the language of their intellectual betters, the communists progressives and traitorous terror-tools Those Who Work for Peace.
For instance, if I say of Ken Steinke,
"string the old bastard up, set him on fire and hang his charred carcass from the Sunshine Skyway Bridge"what I really mean (in my nuanced aristocratic cutting-edge way, of course) is
"Mr. Steinke must surely be aware of the hurtful, unhelpful interpretations that might be applied to his words."
Steinke is 75 years old, btw, which probably means that he is a veteran of the McCarthy era and even of the CPUSA's WW2-era "second front now" movement if he is a red-diaper baby rather than a college convert or a union goon.
