I'm just rereading this post (#216) here:

"Welcome to FR, Newbie. And a telemarketer to boot. Sheesh.

I'll tell you what. After you lose your job as a less-than-useless-telemarketer, you can come over and do some respectable work around my house, actually adding value to the world, mmmkay?

We all have free speech, but your bullsh*t argument of a right to "free" speech doesn't obligate me to have to listen, got it?

I am NOT on the "national do not call list". Here's what I do instead. I sucker you clowns into thinking I'm an easy mark be acting as if I like you. Then, once you get going on your free speech, I set the phone down and let you yak while you entertain my dog listening. Minutes later when I hear the phone beeping, I know the repulisve idiot who called me has finally hung up.

I have only had 3 calls in the last 10 months."

Are you really this polite in real life? Or is it easy to spew this crap as you sit behind your computer and immune from civil conversation? I really want to know that answer, call me and let's discuss it. If you really are this miserable how do you get that dog of yours to play with you; by tying a pork chop around you neck? And one last thing, you should drop that "I'm smarter than you rhetoric", it's really unbecoming of a conservative and pretty tiring.

Now that I've got my retaliation out of the way, perhaps we should try being pleasant with each other. Or, maybe we'd like to continue trading insults. But wouldn't it actually be better to discuss the serious issues at hand?

Nice to see you back Joe, don't give up! We all know this isn't about any legal concepts. The legal case resembles a three legged stool with all three legs shot out. The real issue is allowing the Federal goverment to legislate and enforce politeness. Telemarketers are rude. But some posters here are rude too. We listen to their insults and respond as politely as we can. There's no need for legislation in either domain.
