Polycarp,

You're wasting everyone's time.

No human right (or any legal) is involved in a baker refusing to ice a cake with words or symbols that are offensive to him or her or to other customers. What would your reaction be if the baker had refused a request to add "Jesus sux" or to draw a penis? Would the baker be required to do in the interests of 'BALANCE' or be a 'hyyyypocrit'?

Even you could put your mind to the rights of the baker to refuse to provide obnoxious services. Your thread here is not about discrimination or human rights. The tabloid item you manipulated is about a decent man refusing an order by a moron.

It's all a fabrication of your over-excited imagination - and of course it gave you another oblique opportunity to introduce some of your old fear and smear symbols. The kirpan, yet again. I'm still waiting for you to tell us about any event involving human assault with the Sihk ceremonial 'weapon'

Someone please advise Foxy how to extend her lines right across the page. She does the same thing on the real OLO.

Dear Leigh,

I do that on purpose as a result of a
previous thread where it was suggested
that having the lines cropped made the
post easier to read.

But if it's annoying, I'll happily post
right across the page as I initially used to.

By the way, in future, if you want to
say something to me, you can do it directly.
I'm quite approachable.

Foxy,

For every Leigh, I'l wager there are ten who like your format. It makes it easier to read particularly for older people like me. It's also a well-known concept in publishing known as white space which research shows makes the densely printed page more accessible.

So don't change your style.

If I knew how you do it I'd do it too. (Is that another song?)

Dear Spikey,

Thanks.

I was a bit worried, because I meant
well. However, I thought, if it annoys
people - I'll stop.

Anyway, Leigh doesn't post here all that often,
so I won't worry too much about it.

UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS
Article 29.

(2) In the exercise of his rights and freedoms, everyone shall be subject only to such limitations as are determined by law solely for the purpose of securing due recognition and respect for the rights and freedoms of others and of meeting the just requirements of morality, public order and the general welfare in a democratic society.

Is it moral to promote Adolf Xitler?
Is it moral to promote swastica?
do neo-nazio respect the rights and freedoms of others?
Are not Neo-nazi dangerous for the public order, social understanding and cooperation and social peace?
