Your hatred of the US is ok. I won't suggest that you get banned for your bigotted and inflamitory writings. I am surprised that you actually pointed out that you are stopping yourself from banning because of things they write. Perhaps you're familiar with the Pot and the black kettle?

I am very familiar with the pot and the black kettle,thankyou Yogs........are you familiar with the tirade of obscene gerunds,racism,religious bigotry and personal abuse that I have been subjected to through both the P.M.system and open posting for my rather quaint belief that the U.S. HAS LOUSY FOREIGN POLICY?
In any other forum,in any other thread,in any other context on AF, the 'person with strong beliefs' who submitted those messages would have been unceremoniously shown the door a long time ago.However,it would appear that we have an unwritten agreement amongst the users of this board to the effect that we counter 'biggots' with out own'strongly held opinions',and we don't complain or take our personal prejudices outside of this forum.To date,I am pleased that nobody has reported a single post in this forum to the moderators,and because of this we can say pretty much what we like without being censored.Nobody is ever going to get banned for holding an opinion and espousing it vigorously in this forum,unless they accompany their comments with the kind of language that would make a Marine flinch.And even if when that has happened to me ,I have chosen to treat it as a hallmark of extreme ignorance rather than stoop to the level of censorship by denial of access.My point is,that if anybody wants to tell me that I am an idiot for believing that there is no evidence to justify invading Iraq on the grounds of 'self defence',then go to it....
I will defend your right to free speech in this forum,regardless of how blinkered and judgemental your thinking is.Just don't expect me to put up with it like a cringing Sunday-school teacher.I respect your rights,but not your opinoins.
