Where does it end Dave?
Appended messages next from the Democrats, Republicans, or perhaps from the Communist Party? Talking of which, (just taking one example from many, many fine examples) from supposedly the land of free speech came Senator McCarthy who demanded that anyone who so much had a Socialist leaning was thrown out of office, lost their job, was hounded into committing suicide or imprisoned… and 99.9% of the American public followed the mass hysteria. I think that (very recent) period in US history was a damn sight more Orwellian than most countries in Europe EVER have been.
Like I said in my original thread starter and I’ll quote it again in case it was missed first time around… “It's all down to politeness and behaviour in a wider society. Polite people would moderate their message when it has been pointed out to them. Die-hard religious types I suppose will continue to broadcast their missionary statements to those who would rather not receive them.”
Kinda like smoking… what you do in your home is your business, but don’t blow it in my face without soliciting a reaction.
