#2 This is my personal red-line. Cross it, and you lose all protections whatsoever.

If you abolish my right to speak freely, why should I be persuaded or convinced by what you say?

#7 Remind me, weren't the Tea Party people accused of cyperbullying [among other unnatural acts too viscous for mixed company]? I'm sure the excuse offered by the promoters to justify their actions didn't include the clear pattern of abuse of 'interpretation' of existing laws.

#8 Heck - according to their standard - [A conservative] telling someone that there statement is full is sh*t is hateful and violent and worthy of burning at the stake.

Of course it's perfectly alright and the highest form of patriotism if a liberal does it.

#9 Quote from the full report pdf, page 10:

FLAMING (HURTFUL, CRUEL, AND OFTENTIMES INTIMIDATING MESSAGES
INTENDED TO INFLAME, INSIGHT, OR ENRAGE);

It's spelled 'INCITE', but that's an 'insight' that eluded you, apparently.
Also the 'ALL CAPS' style is a godd*mn eyesore.
