Look I could hit the abuse button on this reply and it wouldn't mean it was in bad taste or rude. If it got pulled it would be for a dumb reason and it's not like that never happens. Moderators make mistakes because they're human and humans aren't perfect. I've actually had a reply pulled before that said (in it's entirety) "please god smite our enemies". Some nanny found it offensive that I asked god to smite our enemies and found a moderator that believed that was actually inciting violence. Anything is possible when you have humans involved. I'll type it again I never said anything ill about Hollings or his family. I used a humorous (to some and not others) means of saying he had too much tradjedy in his life. I was then accused of insulting his family having no compasion for his grandaughter and apparently this even is a dueling offense for some South Carolinians.
If I'm wrong I have no problem admitting it and saying I'm sorry but I'm not wrong for not being all broken up over this tradjedy. If my mom dies in a car wreck, God forbid it, I'm not going to expect Sen. Hollings to go online, read the story, and then send out an email prayer wheel to make me feel better.
