Hey, picking on Wayne constitutes a personal attack, so be careful, otherwise I'll force you to eat British food. 
As I said in another post, Brian and I are very cautious about deleting posts - we don't do it unless we have to and even then we usually give the poster the opportunity to change their post.
The rules of the forum are very clear and we try to make sure that everyone knows where the line is before they cross it, because once the line is crossed, then we have to take action. In this particular thread we watched closely and tried to ensure that everyone knew where they stood. The good thing is that everyone was civil and there were no personal attacks.
We value free speech - just because an opinion is unpopular does not make it illegal or wrong, it just makes it an opinion that has as much value as the opinion of anyone else (opinions are cheap - back it up with data and it has value
).
Free speech is protected in our constitution. We might disagree with an opinion, but we should fight to the last to protect your right to hold an unpopular or uneducated opinion.
Remember, just because you might disagree with an opinion and you might be mad, imagine how you might feel if the shoe was on the other foot and your opinion was being repressed because it was unpopular.
