Well, there is a lot of flamebait going on, so I think he is getting out of control.

Calling someone a heretic, isn't really going too far.

So what about calling someone a "filthy Jew"?

People , DF is writing satire ala Jonathan Swift's Modest Proposal. Satire is designed to enflame your most demure and discreet senses, what DF is doing is exposing how absolutely ludicrous and obscene intolerence can be...you obviously didn't learn a thing.

Satire or not, the precedent has been set many times before that there are lines that can or can't be crossed: witness SS Viking Division's recent deletion for having 'mudman' as a national animal - a more satirical nation it would be hard to find, but still the deletion came.

So your answer to DF's alledged intolerence is some intolerence of your own? Can't we all be adults here or atleast act like adults and not run to the teacher everytime Li'l Jimmy starts calling people names? In the long run, its really no big deal...you have the option not to read DF's post or don't you?

Yep. I'm with NB here. Hell I'm Jewish and I'm not offended by DF's "Filthy Jew" claptrap. If he is serious then he demeans only himself and if it's satire then it's working quite well, IMO.

The point being that the vast majority of posters on this forum have decided to abide by the terms and conditions and rules which they have implictly agreed to by creating a nation on this site. In my opinion calling people "filthy Jew" falls into the flaming category of proscribed actions (whether it does or not is up to the mods to decide). Some of us are capable of biting our proverbial tongues when we feel like breaking those rules, but it appears others are not...
There's satire, and then there's trolling. He's a troll.

"Heretic" was pushing the line, but is okay. "Filthy Jew" comment removed.

Aye, as 'Hack said, that's too far.
