your questions don't seem relevant to my original post. pardon my bluntness, but you took what i said and ran with it to suit your own agenda on this subject.
all i'm suggesting is that people own what they say and take responsibility for the words they utter - words are powerful.
if you don't see or get that, so be it. i have no interest in debating such a basic statement.
We all have agendas here, that's why there is a vote on the topic. It's a very hot issue at the moment for many people and I was wondering, since you mentioned 'responsibility', what you mean by it, and how it is relevant to the position you took to regulate free speech to some extent. I took what you said and analysed it, and then decided to ask further questions. Words are indeed powerful, but should they be regulated? That's the point of the poll; to start a discussion.
I ask these questions because there appears to be a very wishy-washy argument produced from the 'regulate some speech' camp. I am trying to bring forward these arguments to further specificity.
