I think a lot of people need to hear this. I also wish people understood that rights go hand in hand with responsibility, but the people shouting most loudly about rights no one is infringing upon are usually the least responsible. Hate speech is as far from responsible as you can get, verbally. Thanks so much for posting this. I think a lot of people need to hear this.

Same as I throw obnoxious party guests out of my house at my own damn discretion. Fortunately I don't have to do either very often (the latter, I don't think ever). I am not interested in lectures on "poor taste" from someone who does the equivalent of showing up to an open house party piss-drunk, vomiting on the other guests' shoes and swinging from the chandeliers. go express yourself somewhere the hell else.

I have only deleted two comments on my blog. Of these, I took the text from one of them and posted with sans links to the blogger who was writing it. Doing so probably saved the person from getting hate-mail after reading the stuff they wrote on my blog. However, I think that it's definitely okay to refuse to post ANY comment you don't want on your blog. I have no desire to give advertising space to racists, ableists, sexists, and any other random loser who wants to come through and say "Come on over and see free nude pics of almost underage girls with amputations!" Duke, if I had even a modicum of artistic ability, I'd be tempted to create a "sticker" for this. Thank you so-oo-oo much! I have only deleted two comments on my blog.

Still sticking up for his racist buddies, while instructing you to "mellow out." Lecturing about free speech in your house while threatening you with further attacks. It is the height of hypocrisy.
