Wanted - new financial backers : Comments
By Graham Young, published 7/2/2011This very Australian site which strives for tolerance and civility and better community understanding is under threat because of the bigotry of some entrenched interests and the weakness of some corporates both masquerading under the banner of values.

In a world that is experiencing climate change, a financial crisis, a food shortage, wars created by the imperial U.S., the rapid disappearance of democracy and freedom, etc, who cares about Greg and Mike and their silly attempt to change the world to suit the internal workings of their particular relationship?
Certainly not me! http://dangerouscreation.com Posted by David G, Thursday, 17 February 2011 10:04:56 AM

Kipp, the problem is, who decides what's "offensive"?
That is such a subjective thing. It becomes a definable problem when incitement rears its ugly head THEN action must be taken. What's "offensive" (taste/aesthetics) to me or to you is neither here nor there to someone else. I can call you a spangle footed drongo until the cows come home. You can be offended, or just laugh my stupidity off. The moment I turn around and add, "I think spangle footed drongos ought to be tarred nd feathered", then you have grounds for complaint and I'm likely in for a lesson, perhaps from the courts.

If the concern is about a comment causing *distress*, and the concern is reasonably and soundly justified by the distressed party, then the matter is not open to adjudication, without ramifications.

Paul, at least spangle-footed drongos don't go around the place trying to draw attention to themselves. They are modest creature who just get on with their lives without fanfare, worrying no one and minding their own business.
It's a shame their example isn't followed by other species. Posted by David G, Thursday, 17 February 2011 2:30:04 PM

It's got FA to do with gay rights.
