Oh, not so much because it's you. It's because I feel like my general stance is "try not to offend people", especially when it comes to my, or their, beliefs. I usually just respectfully "agree to disagree", and go on my merry way. I wouldn't normally empathize with a group of people putting offensive shit out into the world. I do this time, because I believe the deeper need people fulfill in participating in this is the fight to protect their own freedoms and not fall down the slippery slope into censorship because of intimidation from a small group of bullies.

Re: Surprisingly, I do somewhat agree with you, Mike.
