Seething hatred

“Never ascribe to seething hatred that which can be adequately explained by simple contempt.”

Sometimes e-lynchings in the blue are fun to watch. Really, go grab a beer. I feel no obligation to be tolerant of 111’s bigotry, any more than I feel a need to be tolerant of Nazi propaganda. Matt makes an interesting point that precisely because the post is so absurd, it does not need to be deleted.  I disagree.  Hate speech is not timecube, and while I’d support 111’s right to march on public thoroughfares, I can find no justification for allowing it on a moderated site.
