So basiclly you are saying that people who don’t believe what you believe are “aggressive” if they say what they believe in public.

I'd call it "aggressive" to engage in a publicity campaign designed for the express purpose of trashing a sunstantial segment of the populace with whom one does not agree. If a grass roots organization were to mount a campaign against gay people, I feel pretty certain that the gay community would regard this as an act of aggression.

I'm all for freedom of expression, js1138. But one could wish that people would not express themselves with so much trash talk that is bound to offend. Indeed, that is the whole point: To offend, to ridicule. To me, this is simple thuggery.

Of course, dear js1138, you are free to disagree with me.
