Yikes, didn't read my post after I sent it and just got back here. Didn't make much sense. SHOULD have said: "AFTER personally taking away the rights of a family to a private funeral that I was
NOT invited to."

Just because people find the FORUM used to express the message a repulsive way in expressing it, doesn't mean they automatically find the message repulsive.
There are many people who feel abortion is wrong, and many who feel it's not. Yet, regardless of my beliefs on it, if EITHER group were to decide to use a soldier's funeral as the location to express those beliefs, I'd find that GROUP to be repulsive in that they would emotionally devastate a family in their time of grief in such a manner.
