[QUOTE="Shaggy, post: 734544, member: 43400"] Of course I can place a caveat on it, because it's my opinion, and it makes perfect sense in a democracy (which most of us live in); freedom of speech is a right that most of us enjoy, but there are slander and privacy laws which are caveats on that privledge (which makes perfect sense). A hate filled racist or a homophobic person is a bit of a stretch from a disagreement over an opinion on a rugby matter anyway, but the chances of a person so filled with hate not making a personal attack on someone (my caveat) is pretty remote in my view. Who determines how much hate is "hate filled" anyway? Remarks on racism or homophobia might be quite relevant if that's the topic that's being discussed; the important part is to have the discussion and educate if possible, isn't it? A rational person is probably going to consider any rational argument, regardlesss of whether it's contrary to there own; and by rational, I mean well thought out, supported by facts (if possible). Anyway, just to make my opinion abundantly clear, there's a difference between someone "attacking", for want of a better word, your opinion, and carrying out a personal attack on someone. If you can't tell the difference between the two, or you're so sensitive that you're hurt by someone disagreeing with your opinion, then you've got no place on a forum (in my opinion) I acknowledge that this isn't what this thread is about, even though I find this topic interesting, and am happy to discuss it elsewhere or by PM if necessary. I don't really have an opinion on players crucial to any other nation aside from my own ( and I've already provided that), so I'll end my post here. [/QUOTE]
