Hmm... irrelevent, eh?  If you haven't figured out the content yet... how 
are you able to make a decision on whether it is irrelevent or not.


Anyway... you can have no issue with my free speech then.  But it's apparently 
called "attack" when it's from my side of the fence.  I ask you if calling 
a person a a**hole can be considered an attack or free speech?  I don't call 
people names.  I think you fail the consistancy test.
