The logical paradox with your suggestion is that anytime someone is allowed to say "anything they want" then if someone says something that offends someone else then it should be within their rights of "saying anything they want" to respond in any way they want, even if it is in an inflamatory manner. Thus it is impossible to have a thread/forum/site/whatever where people can say whatever but then have restrictions on what other people are allowed to say in response because those restrictions contradict the very essence of saying whatever. So it's either complete freedom and you just have to deal with the offensive bitches, or it's rules and restrictions without exception or else you're not being fair. It is the most common dilema of free speach, deciding what should be allowed and what should be deemed unnacceptable. Who decides what's offensive? I may find certain topics or words offensive (unlikely, but possible) that other people say every day. Where do you draw the lines? If you don't have lines then how do you deal with the people that will invariably get offended?Sod said:where you can say what you want about anything you want, without being attacked or punished!!!!!!!!
