But it is also a free speech issue.

The reason I said it's not a free speech issue is because I haven't seen anyone challenging the right to say what was said, only the judgment in exercising that right. If no one is suggesting restraint of speech, then it's not a free speech issue. If you call this a free speech issue, then you can also call it a language issue, although no one is challenging anyone's right to post in any language.

I may have missed the challenge to free speech. I'm no longer reading every word of every post. But I didn't see it and that's why I said what I said.

there didn't have to be a 'situation'

am I 'sensitive' to to this? you're damn right I am

and there is no way you're going to convince me that this is an important free speech issue, no matter how you try and twist it

it didn't have to be an 'issue' at all

it is a character and poor taste issue
