Saying that you think soldiers are murders wouldn't get you noticed here, much less arrested, much less taken to trial. The point here is not free speech. There are things that you can get in trouble for saying here. If you go after someone personally, you should get in trouble. If you wander off on some long off-topic nonsense you should get in trouble. If you want do any of this in r.g.c.c., that is unpleasant but allowed, since that is how r.g.c.c. is defined. I thought CCC was supposed to work differently. I thought the whole point of CCC was to exclude certain topics (off topic stuff) and certain modes of argument (insults, accusations, ranting, etc.). I don't care if your impression of whoever it was you were talking about is true or false. This place is a forum for discussion, not a place to put people on trial or to nurse permanent grudges. That's my opinion. bruce
