     Can't say as I haven't read enough of his words to form a qualified
opinion. Although I have a reasonable expectation of what to expect from
Frank as well as several others.

     I guess I don't look at it as being offended. I see it as something
that ya just don't do. Even if one really feels that particular way about
things. Celebrating death, torturing people, needless killing, Etc. There
are some things that regardless of one's feelings or intent ya just shouldn't
do.
