Thank you Dan for providing the one description exemplifying
vilification of others.  The key is - as you stated - lack of civility, not
freedom of speech.  Any freedom carries the responsibility to act
respectfully towards others, not to cast aspersions or to attack verbally
and above all to not spread rumors and lies.  To disagree with Bill Clinton
for whatever issue is freedom.  To vilify him or the office of the
presidency, is a display of uncivilized behavior.

It's not really a matter of freedom of speech, but of civility; despite a
lot of the chest thumping, bickering, arguments and whatnot, we do seem to
be more civil to each other than any other place on the net! Let's keep it
that way.
