Poet, no one says KL should not post. But, I (and MD) have as much right to judge those posts and post my opinion in that vein as KL does. IMO, MD was right on. Freedom of speech does not include freedom from criticism. Just as Trent Lott found, you can say just about anything you want in this country....but you have to be willing to accept the consequences. IMO, people like KL, Duh-Ray, MSI, TP, etc.... post material which is beyond the bounds of decency
by which patriotic Americans should be willing to tolerate. I will not tolerate it. It does indeed indicate something about the person to me...... and quite frankly, I earned my right to post that which I feel is appropriate....

If you read the exchange, you'd see that the left winger introduced the concept of American Barbarians. MD reasonably reacted to that slur.

Now that you know this, and based on what you just said, (It's not right to call people "American Barbarians"), it would seem that you owe KL a reprimand and MD an apology.
