Update2: Oct 10 2010. I reread this post and have decided to put it back up now
Update: I feel really weird about this post now, after learning from Ketan about IHM's loss. It is true that IHM's is one of the more recent places I had seen this. But it is also true that I wasnt aware of the tragedy or even thinking about anything other than how I approach this saying myself while posting it. but it feels more than awkward right now, almost disrespectful. Maybe I should delete it...

Unto the least
I've come across a few sites that repeat, sincerely I believe, the saying:
" I may disagree with what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it"
I've found this an admirable sentiment and often wanted to put it up on my blog, sidebar or elsewhere. Trouble is, I need it to be literally true. On reflection, this is what I could come up with:
"I may disagree with what you say but I will defend to the point of mild physical discomfort (eg. a shove) or medium-strength psychological discomfort (eg. sustained barracking) your right to say it"
and this doesnt quite come out looking so good. I'd appreciate tips on whether I should leave this up on my blog or take it down.
Oh, and how about if I agree with what you say?
Please continue to refer to my stand above, it still holds :-)
