>>I must be missing something here. I just don't see whats got everyone so fired up about this. Its not like he's sitting on the other end of your sofa and won't go home.

>I agree with you. I find disturbing that so many people find Rick's post worth of banning (for example Naomi), tweeting (?) (Tore and others) for he preaches his believes (which of course I do not share at all), yet they say NOTHING or are apologetic (ie "well I respectfully disagree" or something like that) when others are actively campaigning to drop nukes to kill thousands of innocent lives even kids and wouldn't be remorseful at all

I've twitted out Charles Hankey exactly for proposing such things and for general jingoism, after having a few harsh disputes over such things. There are a few others whom I didn't check on for years, maybe they still spew their bile, but in each case I tried to get them to come clear with their principles, if any. I even argued with our current bible thumper until he openly insulted me. For me, the military and religious expansion are minted on the same coin, as they frequently were through history.

With Bill Kuhn, I'm on the fence. Usually on the day I feel I should finally twit him out, we get to agree on something. I think it's mutual :).
