This kind of personal attack reduces the entire level of dialogue immediately.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion. You might note that the "poster" didn't post on FR and therefore no one, should take offense.

You might also want to take note of the fact that we live in a politically correct society where no one wants to offend. We are supposed to sit by while our schools are dumbed down day after day, where God is removed from everything in school life INCLUDING the pledge of allegiance. I could cite hundreds of similar examples, but presumably, since you are a FReeper, you know that already. We coddle incompetents, and nurture fools. Maybe you would like to soft soap it, but I will not.

It is not manly or tough to trash people personally, to call them names, to impugn their integrity and character. In the words of William Buckley, "There are occasions when it is appropriate to pronounce the death sentence and take a man's life. There are never occasions when it is appropriate to hurt his feelings."
