I'm with you 100% on being able to fully express your views w/o having to water down your posts. However, you don't think you could have said the same exact thing in a more tasteful manner? You could have easily done it, you're an intelligent guy. I do the same thing all the time. I'm passionate about what I believe, think people to too thin skinned overall, and sometimes can be pretty blunt. No one is asking you or anyone else to "dress up" any of their posts. No one needs to pussyfoot about anything, but in life it's always good to try to be respectful. It's something I need to work on more myself.
