As a dad and someone that is older than the average around here I can honestly say without hesitation or regret, that kid would get a spanking the first second he tried to legitimately hit me. And god save him if he tried to throw a shoe at me.

As far as this larger topic, I just think we need to be careful to not become too rigidly authoritarian around here. Some individual expression, even if It offends someone else, should be permitted. Hate speech is a very, very broad category. Let's be careful to keep the spirit of free speech alive and well around the site. Kinder and gentler is a great way to live, but should not be mandated, especially when there is no agreement as to what exactly that means.
