Wintertime,
For the record, I agree with you that we need to go on the offense more often. I read through those posts on this thread, and I saw nothing insulting that would warrant hitting the abuse key.
We homeschoolers are hammered over and over again by relatives, neighbors, friends, politicians, teacher's unions, and so many others for our decision to homeschool. We've heard far worse from anti-homeschoolers than what you posted. You were criticizing the public school system and the decision to place one's children into them. When Freepers criticize homeschooling and the decision to homeschool, we fight back, but I don't remember anyone reporting the anti-homeschoolers for abuse here.
Once a Freeper cursed me out in a Freepmail. I mean, literally cursed and called me names. All I did was calmly post a message telling her that I would report her for abuse if she ever posted to me again. That was the only time I ever even thought about hitting the abuse key, and it would've been perfectly warranted in that case.
I am 100% supportive of complete and total separation of school and state. An institutional-like school setting that requires children to attend six hours/day 5 days/week is not only unnecessary but harmful in many ways.

Tired of Taxes,
I don't take it personally. Liberals think like roaches. Turn in the light and they scurry,hurry,fuss and run all over the place.
