>>But Peter, you still haven't told us where these rules come from. If you make them up, then they will make sense to you and not to somebody else. If someone else makes them up, then you may hate them. You keep talking about 'sensible' and 'good' rules. Your 'sensible' and 'good' may be somebody else's 'nonsens' and 'bad'.

Our laws allow a whole heck of a lot of latitude to say things others will find offensive, and I'm happy with that. Unfortunately, with the new anti-terrorism stuff coming down the pipe, that may change, and we'll all have to be careful about what we say in a public (or in some cases, even private) forum.
