You shouldn’t have responded the way you did either. I don’t care for his post, but he has a right to his opinion. If it bothers you so much, don’t look at it. Seems like almost everyone wants to give us his/her dictates on what we can say or post. If the mods left it there, then BACK OFF.
So, your rules are that BenLurkin has a right to post an opinion, but Jewbacca doesn’t? Could you post your list of who can post an opinion, and who needs to ‘back off’ on posting?
