I am speaking on the ethics of a man, the same as everyone grills Lucie for.

If we take jabs at one another, that's one thing.
We are here to defend ourselves, but the kids and wives are not and should be off limits.
I would defend ANY of you (or your loved ones) the same.
What right is right.
If someone starts talking about your wife, I'll have your back.
And.... I GUARENTEE I will have MY family's back.
I just hope people have the good sense not to test that.

Talking about public figures is completely different.
At least that is what I was told when it came to Scalia.
M.O. is a target, the same that he was.
I will grant you that Scalia's was more on policy, rather than aesthetics.

A note concerning calling someone gay......
Why is it being considered an insult ?
How can someone enlightened enough to find homosexuality perfectly normal be offended ?
It would/should be the equivalent of being called a toaster.
It should illicit the response of wondering how that could possibly be relevant.
Unless.... the person isn't REALLY as accepting as they like to believe.

I will respect your opinion, Dino.
I just thought you were a better soul than that.

 

We're going to disagree.  The level of response has been equal to level of posting.

Fred made a salient  point.  Kain made a salient point.  Lucy took PERSONAL offense to both things because it seems HE can talk about how other people live but when it is asked if it should be applied to his own life it is wrong.


As to you question about being called gay:  We (at least I) didn't not get offended by it.  I cited that to show that Lucy is not above personal attacks no matter how lame to divert form the point of whatever article is being made.  The board equivalent of the school yard bully who cries when someone says something about HIS mom.

The fact that you realize it was less than relevant should show you that Lucy is great at trying to be personal and less so and understanding what is being said to him.
