I read your reply to my post #59 and wanted to clarify that I do not align myself with the WPPFF. My comments were directed toward lugsoul, who is a WPPFFer and but who posted a reference to "nazi death cultists" in an apparent vein of sarcasm, earlier in this thread.

I have read enough of the WPPFF threads and WPPFFer comments to see they are not accountable to the "standards" they set for themselves. There is a double standard. While their manifesto claims they are opposed to name calling, innuendo, hyperbole, use of emotionally charged words, etc., time spent reviewing their posts would indicate otherwise.

I should probably leave this as is. But I am curious as to where you stand on a related matter. You have said, "I reject name calling in any case that would include the use of "Nazi" to describe a freeper who takes the view that our laws in their current form regarding the issues surrounding Terri's fate are just."

Many have made comparisons to what happened to Terri with what took place, historically speaking, in Nazi Germany's eugenics program. This program involved the deaths of 200,000 disabled individuals. Providing the frame of reference is the historic program that occurred, and providing the term Nazi Germany was used in an historical context, not to call names or insinuate anything about another's character, do you feel that type of discourse should be allowed?

Now on yet another note...

You also wrote, "I believe cooler heads will prevail in the heart wrenching case of Terri Shiavo and a just means to avenge her death will evolve."

I pray it is so.

I'm curious...were you out protesting the murder of the twin sister of Manar Maged, who could blink and smile? Or would that have interrupted the All-"Terri",All-the-Time marathon?

My point is that you can call hypocrisy, yet I wonder why there was no outcry in that case.
