Kurt,

It's one thing to be outspoken and speak your mind. Having an opinion and broadcasting it over the internet is fine - that's the nature of the medium.

Openly insulting individuals, however, is just plain crass and uncalled for. I can deal with your theories about Hitler and even read your posts about how all foreign-born Americans should leave the country - and I put as much stock into that stuff as I do Stromberg's lunatic meanderings.

When you start insulting people directly, however, you make a statement about yourself. A very strong one. And at the end of the day, people's opinions about you, personally, are strongly changed. You're no longer a fellow Porsche owner; now you're a racist. And racism and intolerance is what got thousands of people killed on Tuesday.

America now has slim tolerance for racism.

Saffs, you can come over to my place any time.

Stromberg: You need to refill your perscription again, evidently.
