Keep in mind I never made a value judgement about the content of the post, merely had questions about the motives behind it. I was curious at what point someone thinks a behaviour becomes acceptable (keep in mind I'm not saying if I think it IS acceptable or not, merely what they see as acceptable).
I now see that both Spirit and Loki feel that calling someone, or a group of someones, an insulting name is ok as long as its not directed to an individual or a specific group. As a very lose example (and using race since Manz brought it up) calling David Duke a racist scumbag is wrong (an individual), calling the Klan racist scumbags is wrong (a specific group/organization), but calling racists scumbags is perfectly ok.
