LW thanks so much for the definition. now try this one "context" the words, phrases, or passages that come before and after a particular word or passage in a speech or piece of writing and help to explain its full meaning. You can call someone buddy and still not mean it in a frendly way. My comments are not directed explicitly to the author, I don't know him or her from Adam. So it wan't my intent to hurt any feelings. It was merely the perception of someone living outside Australia.
This is a win for free speech, not for, as some might think, intolerance.
Sure some will feel that way, especially if they are holding signs in support of free speech, but if the signs read "pope go home" others may see it differently, it's called perception and everyone's is slightly different. So back to my entire reason for posting, how will others see it? No right or wrong answer here, just speculation.
