An open warning

[fpb]

To anyone who might feel like defending abominations such as baby-murder and the State murder of the old and sick: be reminded that this blog is my space. I decide what goes in and out; and while I allow all my friends to say what they think or feel, I will not, on principle, leave in any defence of what I regard as crime. If you want to defend crime, do it in your own space and don't bother me; all you will get otherwise is deletion and banning.

Re: Tom, that goes too far.

You’re quite right, my language was excessive and inappropriate, and I apologize for it. (And no, I didn’t see your own reply, because eyeliner297’s reply appeared in my email and I responded from there. I was stung and acted in haste, which makes me more culpable, rather than less.)

I still feel that there is a considerable disproportion between feeling visceral revulsion at the actual occurrence of a partial-birth abortion, and feeling it on account of a purely verbal insult. I cannot help suspecting a degree of hyperbole in drawing the equivalency.
