Flaming/Hate speech
Everything Reichs wrote in this thread, pretty much (http://www.nationstates.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=95567). Yes, I know that the rules here allow political expression that I would consider hate speech, but I'm pretty sure that advocating the murder of all homosexuals doesn't fall under that category. And the numerous personal insults are clearly flaming (anybody else see the irony of that term when talking about a homophobe? ;)). Damn Hippies isn't much better, although I didn't see them advocating death for homosexuals.

A note to my fellow Ambrosiaite: This is an 11-page topic you're linking to; I need a page number.

There is something on page 7.
Also on page 6 and 5.
I will look further.

Okay, after a brief scan, I realize that I'm going to have to examine the entire thing in detail.
This is going to take a while.

Why not just delete the entire thread?

Because we're having fun talking in it?
Sorry, Cog. It does tend to run through the whole topic. Try page 3 or 4 for the inital statement about how homosexuals deserve to die. I confess it turned my stomache too much to make it past page 7 or so.

Okay, I've issued warnings.
It looks like the discussion became more civil in the last page-and-a-half, so I'm leaving the topic open. Please post here if flames erupt again.
Thank you.

Thank you. And maybe I'll go try reading from the end, if it actually got civil.
