Fact is I love the freedom of speech we enjoy here, I love that someone can bitch about Isreal or Iraq or the French, while others call them morons and piss back etc etc... It's loads of fun. The freedome of expression and opinion we enjoy here goes well beyond that of most other boards......
but I'm talking about basic respect and tact. I'm not talking about taking away one's right to voice their opinion and I'm sure Lens isn't doing that either. What I'm talking about is when addressing one of these contestants that we try to do it without the snide needless unproductive insults that some like to fly at others to make themselves look good, or make themselves feel like big men. It's about respect, because after all... this contest is business. When it gets right down to it, it's business.
Just as Lens doesn't put up much with people making false unfounded accusations at companies and programs etc, so too is he right to ensure that idiots don't make any idiotic snide hurtful comments to the contestants. There is arguing your point or getting it across intelligently, and then there is outright schoolyard retarded mindless insults. I'm all for free speech, but in this case I see the need for a line to be drawn.
