**** that. that's the same law as making the bartender responsible for a patron's drinking. i got two words:

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY.

know it; use it; love it!

while I do agree with shmengie on personal responsibility everyone's view changes depending on experiences, using that analogy kinda misses the point. I've got two unique perspectives on that specific comment from a conviction perspective & from the victim perspective.

When you undertake a job you agree to do it in a certain manner. eg. If you agree with that comment then isn't far to say that police officers should basically fire away with our regard to harming others.

We live in a society that almost celebrates complete abdication of "personal responsibility".

Physical actions & freedom of speech are distinctly different.

Moderating here is a rather informal job, though...there was no contract or anything .
