    P.S.

    If Rush Limbaugh said something on a personal blog about niggers or cunts or something else offensive, would you have the same high-minded standards about protecting their ability to say what they want when not on the job? Would you be telling your black and women friends that they shouldn't have been looking at his personal blog if they didn't want to get offended?

    I feel very strongly that your kind tolerance of Marcotte's "personal" verbal diarrhea would not extend to those whose verbal diarrhea you found less appealing.

    —Chloe, yet again, damnit
