Funny, why did they close comments on this interesting defense of the positive need for hate speech. It couldn't possibly be because some Ferengis were enraged, could it?

"Feregi" is a corruption of the English word, "foreigner." It's common in the Middle East and Parts of south Asia, Afghanistan, Pakistan, for example.
So, do we have a "code word" in use here? I this a sneaky way of creating xenophobic commentary at this fine blog? Are we soon to face the Thought Police gently tapping at the door to politely invite us to a hearing into our hateful beliefs?
Good grief, what have you done? I'm living in terror already. I'll be nervous wreck at our meeting. But yes I'll still be there. Fainting, weeping, gasping. Oh. Oh.
Heh, no need to worry, Dag. They don't tap gently at your door; that would be to cause a grievance among the postal workers.
No, they send you a letter demanding you explain yourself for your hateful expression, and do it before the deadline which was two days before you received the letter.
I thought that Feregi was a race on Star Trek.
I'll be there in spirit, my prayers go with you.
