No, the message was not snipped, you'd have to see the others to 

understand the level to which this has escalated.


I also did not suggest that I was directly being *called* a racist, only 

that I was being equated with one.


Even if I am to be condemned as a platform-bigot, it doesn't warrant 

personal harassment, especially if all I'm doing is making a necessary 

technical clarification within the context of a post.


Please tell me you see the insanity of such attacks.

Free Speech ends when I repeatedly request/demand the party stop 

contacting me. Illegal harassment ensues with each message that follows 

such requests and warnings. I.E., the First Ammendment ends at the 

Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth--as is widely supported by both Federal 

and Sate Law, not to mention International Law and even the Hotmail Code 

of Conduct.
