Tis the season...deja vu anyone?

That "is the subject" of this thread.

One post before the weekend anyway. If that is the issue, then you seem to be arguing about the wrong things. Not one person in this thread has stated an opinion contrary to the idea that whatever group put up that sign should be allowed to. Every person in this thread has said that they do and that they should.

All that has been contested is whether, from a civility perspective the sign posted sends a positive or negative message.

So, you say the former is the issue of this thread, but have spent all of your time arguing about the latter. Please have this confusion clarified by Monday, for if I am going to take the contrary side, I need to know which argument I am actually to be making as one will be much more difficult than the other seeing as it will fly in the face of (on this board anyway) unanimity. It would suck to lose on points because I've been penalized for being masterfully eloquent on the wrong topic.

Which goes to the very heart of the issue/subject identified.

It's all a matter of interpretation first...all else follow.

As Goulish indicated...it's an "ugly" display of "hate" speech directed at religious believers.

I have plainly stated my argument in the OP and subsequent responses...I invite you to argue from there (either the OP and/or those responses).

Sincerely,

S.D.
