After reading the post on "Free Speech," and the many replies, it made me think of my childhood. I and my younger sister would get in verbal arguements and call each other nasty little names like children will do if allowed, and whenever my father would hear one of us say something nasty or just unkind, he would sit us down and remind us of "his golden rule"....
Before opening your mouth to say anything to a person, you should make sure it meets these 3 criteria....
1- it should be true
2- it should be kind
3- it should be needful
If what you are about to say cannot meet each of those criteria, then just don't say it!
It might sound korny, but it works! You can't say anything hurtful or rude or just plain nasty if you apply this rule!
Just a thought, and my .02
