You know, Dwayne, this is the only problem thing I've actually found
about you to date. Opinions should be analysed critically and free
from preconceptions of the personality of the person who wrote
them. You can derive your own concept of the person's opinion to 
do this but you must not think you are being reasonable if you think
that someone you hate cannot have a right to be heard, let alone be
right. Many people have made that last mistake and it sucks.

In *my* book the 'line' is explained above, and fucken shit bugger words
are harmless.
