On these forums you will see despicable posts about someone who has died.

The lack of respect comes from a total lack of self-respect. I can't really blame them. Based on their postings I don't respect them either.

Go back and look at the threads concerning Limbaugh and find all the negative comments I made. Then you can accuse me of shit.

I am not a leftist maggot. Which, is not the way to start any attempt at actual communication with someone. But then, I don't think communication is your goal anyway.
