Dave knows very little about the PMK1981 when he chooses to call him a stroppy toddler and his insult could well stifle this guy's contribution in the future - i.e. ending his legitimate right to free speech on this forum.
Come on, adam#1, ignoring threaths of violence etc -- and that's not what we are talking about here -- it's silly to suggest that someone's right to free speech can be curtailed by a comment on a Internet message board. If PMK1981 decides to sulk instead of replying to what he perceives as an insults, that's his choice. To turn this into a debate about freedom of speech is just ridiculous. You could just as well argue that Woodhall's right to free speech has been impaired because some posters think that he, as fanzine editor, should be nice to everyone. That doesn't make sense, either.
