I started writing a reply to this yesterday and got interrupted before I could finish. Even though it's mostly all been said, I still can't resist the urge to chime in, so here goes my second attempt to respond.
First of all I found this comment to be incredibly passive aggressive. If you have something to say, just say it. This is a very forthright community. Beating around the bush, dropping hints, implying something (especially in a sarcastic manner) without actually coming out and saying what you think: these are all tactics that will not go over well here.
There are no rules about what views may be expressed in this forum. We all post things that reflect our own views, and you are welcome to do the same. If you feel there's another side to an issue that is not being represented, then step up to the plate and post a cartoon about it. Nobody is stopping you, and it's really not good form to sit around complaining because nobody else is expressing a view you would like to see expressed.
Of course, if you do post, others may disagree, and just as we are all free to post, we are also free to express our disagreement with each other's posts. If you're up for a lively argument, this should not deter you from posting your views here. On the other hand, if you are looking for a "safe" forum in which to post certain kinds of views without fear of anyone disagreeing or criticizing those views, then (as you may have figured out already) this ain't the place!
