I believe in free speech too, but every forum has its rules pertaining to decency and respect. The HTH has its rules too, even though it doesn't enforce them:
Feedback Rules
We urge comment writers to treat this as a public forum where manners matter. Criticism is part of American democracy but insults discourage participation. If contributors follow these guidelines, Lodinews.com will leave this forum convenient, anonymous and otherwise unfettered:
Do not issue threats of any kind.
Do not use profanity or attempt to disguise profanity.
Do not post messages using profane or crude names and identities.
Do not insult someone else's contributions or wit.
Do not disguise or confuse identities by using the names of others.
Comments that violate these rules may be deleted. In cases where tempers and abusive comments become uncontrolled, the comments feature may be turned off. There's no need to insult the author of a badly reasoned, uninformed or silly comment. Just make a better one.

Time is an illusion, but a handy one. Without it, we would not be able to hear sounds, and without that ability, we would have no music.
