I remember when people were posting this shortly after Sept. 11 and were getting heat for it from a certain small crowd of FReepers.
I had a heated argument on 9/12/01 with a project manager who kept insisting people shouldn't say things like "we should just nuke Mecca." He missed the point that, for some of us, it was the strongest way we could express our anger.
I apologize for people like that project manager.
