Sorry I have to respond to that one worldwalker. I think it is presumptuous to assume that my posting was "off-topic" for the site. Certainly if I'd thought that I would not have posted it in the first place. I think it was and is a judgment call given that other topics just as inflammatory or 'off-topic' are allowed to be discussed.
In fact just now there was a suggestion of murdering someone in another lounge thread..... go figure...
Now if that murder should actually happen? Will MR be held liable?
Not trying to bring the powers that be down on someone else, but just providing an example of arbitrariness (which is always going to be there -- there is always grey between the black and the white and even the black and the white are seen differently by different individuals or governments as you rightly point out).
