[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Believe me, there are more than one of us! " Free-speaking community" in this context means free from all of you angry, nothing-to-contribute posters!  [/quote]

I have no dog in this fight (no kids of AAP age) and clicked on this thread out of curiosity but I find this comment amusing.  Being "free" of opinions you don't like is exactly the opposite of what a "free-speaking community" is.  Freedom of speech means you can say whatever you like and I can say whatever I like back and then you can say whatever you like to me and then I can . . . you see how that works?  If you want to be free of "angry, nothing-to-contribute" speakers, you don't want a "free-speaking community", you want to be president of the censorship board so you can decide what speech is acceptable and what isn't.  Sorry, but all the snark, offensive and angry speech on DCUM is why it is so great.  You get to hear what no respectable DC mother or father will actually say in person.  If you don't want to hear it, go to a PTA meeting where the parents will keep their offensive thoughts to themselves.[/quote]
