I think I have to claim the dubious honor of initially reviving the "killing a man" thread, much to my sorrow. I actually hadn't heard of GK before this board (but have heard a whole lot about him since). I too revived this and a few other of his threads not knowing any better.
As far as folks here jumping your frame, let 'em jump. They'll get over it or they won't. I, for one, am glad to have you here and look forward to many interesting and thoughtful posts from you.
I think I remember reading a post by Rich Z about banning posters and editing posts that would apply to your question Aztec. If I remember the gist of it correctly, Rich's position is that if the 2nd is worth respecting, then the rest of the Constitution and its Ammendments are too. In short, the 1st Ammendment applies here just like the rest of them. With only a few (if any) exceptions, members are free to post here no matter how offensive or far south of wrong their posts may be. It is our right under the 1st just as it is our right to own arms under the 2nd.
I am suprised that threads that haven't been posted to in say a year or so haven't been deleted just to conserve storage space or bandwidth.
