It's not fine to insult living people, but it's allowed.
Like farting in a crowded room, it's difficult to police and we almost all do it from time to time.
As I said before, you have a point, it maybe valid or not, but you've made it invalid by default.
I say, move on, reinvent a way to make your idea more plausible and palatable, then present it in another climate.

Well, other people may have declared it invalid.
Here it is, as simply as possible:
~ People here are adamant that if you insult a living person, it's not bad.
~ I said that this man, while alive, insulted living people.
~ Therefore, according to their own views of insults, I never said he did a bad thing. I said he did a thing which is not bad.
Yet people find it insulting for me to say that he did a thing which is not bad.

Quote:~ People here are adamant that if you insult a living person, it's not bad.
Because living people can fight back
Quote:~ I said that this man, while alive, insulted living people.
Prove it
Quote:~ Therefore, according to their own views of insults, I never said he did a bad thing. I said he did a thing which is not bad.
Nope
Quote:Yet people find it insulting for me to say that he did a thing which is not bad
You still have not proved it

There is a time and place to stand your ground. This ain't it. It's okay to be an insensitive prick sometimes, as long as you admit it.

Please translate for this American. I can't even begin to guess what a shower of bollixes might be.

Insensitive prickish statements are applauded, if they're made against people we disapprove of.
