This is another case of people wanting others to do things their way, and no other way.

Hmm I think you can still criticise religion, but you can't abuse people because of their religious beliefs:

"The issue is not whether you have an argument or discussion or whether you are criticising someone's religion. It's whether you incite hatred on the basis of it," he said.

Problem these days is, telling what religion you are part of, or telling you don't believe in anything is often enough to incite religious hatred :@

I was in a conversation with someone on IRC a while back who said he was part of some Tele preachers church in the US and he asked me what religeon I was part of and if I wouldn't join his.

When I said I don't really believe in any of the available religeons, he started spitting bible verses at me and stuff his preacher said, and was trying to convert me.

I reply'd to his comments with fact funded comments and statements of my own beliefs, and then when I was having the upper hand in the conversation(after like 5 minutes :p) he started treatening me and saying he would have attacks on my person aranged and that he would "hack" me.

Half an hour later, my routers logs were starting to show "ping dos" attacks(the most basic Denial of Service attack posible) wich is automaticly rejected by my router, and so weak that it barely showed on my transfer logs, best part is, it was comming straight from his IP.

Then I sent him a message to ask him to stop, because it was plain anoying. So he thought he was actualy succeeding in dossing me ...

Then after about an hour, my firewall started getting hits from more DoS type attacks and some old WinNuke attacks(only work on unpatched Windows 95 installs ... I'm running Linux ...) Still all comming from his very own IP.

Because he just wouldn't stop and I was a bit bored, I logged what he was doing to send it to his ISP.

Then logged on to a leased server of a hosting Co I do admin work for and slapped his silly connection offline.

After this sending the logs to his ISP. Now hes stuck with 56k AOL dialup since that day. Now about 2 years ago. And luckely he avoids talking to me.

Most of you will now say "yeah, that was propably some 10-16 year old kid", well, I know who this person is. I met him on a flightsim website.
Hes a professional airline pilot, 53 years old and before this conversation, he mainly had very inteligable things to say, when it comes to aircraft and FlightSim2000/2004 topics.

So these days, when someone asks you a question and you reply to it with answers that he/she doesn't like, your open for attacks.

It's about time!! I'm tired of being referred to as "the I word" (Infidel)

Even ones that appear to like me would murder their daughter if she brought me home.

This culture of hate must be stopped!!

Ya right. Somehow I suspect this law wasn't enacted to keep ME from getting MY throat slit.
