That's the one that bugs me the most --- I'm the one who gets to say what I think. But personal insults against politicians (Mittwit!) or news channels (Wakadoos!) do not bother me at all! Some people get so wrapped up that they ruin it, and I think a lot of members who might participate don't bother because they don't like the tone.

Anyway, Kush, you keep it lively. And that shit-eating grin on the face of your avatar just makes everything you say twice as sarcastic! Ha ha! Who the hell is that guy?

Well said!
You are right! It is so annoying when peopel take personal offense when public figures or News channels are criticized!
That guy as my avatar, he was the most prolific mob hit man ever. Kuklinski! The Ice Man, and that's exactly why I picked him for my avatar, the shit eating grin translates what my tone usually is 99.9% of the time! He is not by any means a hero or anything, but he is extremly fascinating! Watch some of the interviews that he did from prison!
Interviewer: "So what was in the needle?"
Kuklinski: "A heart attack."
