I do indeed have a very good example but I'm not allowed to say what it is,
if I did there are members of this list who would start to hyperventilate
like a preacher who heard somebody say fuck at a church picnic.

Yes weird. I don't have a answer to your question and I don't know who are
you quoting.

I could not have found a better way to illustrate the ridiculous conclusions
your line of argument leads to; calling a member of the KKK scum causes
harm! Do I really need to say more?
