'Fraid so. It's called freedom of speech; the same thing that allows you the right to call him a lying sack of shit. It cuts in all directions. Of course, like all similar freedoms it's oretty much a self-regulating thing - views that are considered unpopular or even offensive will become increasingly marginalised and their proponents outcast from the group. Which is rather handy from a Mod point of view, as it can make our job so much easier to let the wolves do the work and just mop up the blood afterwards.
Well quite. It isn't me who resorts to obscene personal abuse and it isn't me who lurks on hostile sites picking fights.
