i don't know LJ's motivation for digging at garnet today (nor do i really care), but he has just as much right, as you or i, to come in here and post what he wants. and if he uses his time to call garnet ( or you, or me) out on the carpet, then so be it.

I don't think that people disagree with me because they make scads of money. I have noticed, however, that people with money are often insulated by their income to certain realities of life in America, because they've never experienced them. I say this because I was once one of those people with a comfortable income and middle class life style and I didn't have a clue about how some things REALLY are.
Sure, as long as UT doesn't 86 us, we can all post as we please. One thing I admire about the Cellar is that the concept of freedom of speech is given every respect. However, I don't have to respect people who post stuff that amounts to SPAM or name calling. You and I have had many a debate, and while I may not always agree with your viewpoints, I have respected what you said, as long as you weren't calling me names. I love an intelligent debate. I dispise petty character assasination. It's my right to make that comment.
