It is a shame. With my dark sense of humor I'm sure I offend people who have those sensibilities, but, it's the internet, no? Certainly his choice to go, but it's too bad because he was a fun and nice guy.

I really think the internet makes it worse. When there isn't a face to go along with the comment, we tend to fill in the blanks. If someone is spouting republican views, I can't help but picture Rush Limbaugh.

As far as blasphemy, or making fun of some one's religion, or lack of religion, that's just such a foreign concept to me I can't imagine what would prompt some one to do that. To say it's personal, would be the understatement of the year. It's their belief, the core of who they are.

I tend to type how I speak and the filter between my brain and mouth is seriously faulty.

I'm a foot in mouth person and I expect people to like me or lump me....just the way I am.
