Are you saying you only selectively enforce the policy against writing things that "could offend others"? Or that it is okay to call most people's ideas, such as the policies of a democratically elected government "hypocracy" and "pathetic"?
If so are you assuming that stance because
A. you dislike me or
B. because you dislike those who enforce the drug war and consider it okay to call their policies "hypocricy" and "pathetic" or
C. because it is okay here to call any government policy hypocricy and pathetic
D. some other reason.You wrote that [it would be enough simply to claim that you were (injured)] and I do hereby claim that I feel injured when I notice that you selectively enforce policies, granting a wide exception for those who write things directly offend the policies of a democratic electorate. We might hold diverse views about what laws should be adopted and I might prefer other laws, but once they are adopted, they are my laws, and a person calls me hypocritical and pathetic when they call the laws hypocritical and pathetic.
