To: Smile-n-Win; Red Jones; DeviantMind; FreedomFriend
While I certainly am not supporting DeviantMind's point of view, I would like to ask FReepers to judge a poster on his/her content rather than his/her screen name. A name is a name, and though some names may sound less like FreedomFriend and more like PsychoticDemon, a poster should not be critized for that. FWIW, I think there are plenty of better ways to refute DeviantMind's post.
(And a ping to FreedomFriend while I'm at it!)

Hmm, so I was being too "judgmental," eh? ;-) Actually, I think that since a person is free to choose his screen name, he is responsible for it. And--as I have seen it--it is quite customary for screen names to be understood as self-descriptions. So I found it rather strange for a Freeper to call himself DeviantMind. I was just pointing this out--it wasn't my objective to refute his post.
