  Re: Some facts about current events and a small opinion
 
(...) What happens if a gay AFOL posts there about Lego? Probably at least some of the people on those newsgroups will think it's silly to have Lego as a hobby. (20 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Louisiana bans gay marriages
 
(...) Your were too fast on the trigger in forcing the followup to admin.general, Orion - my response above still pertains to the people.lgbt forum, so back it goes (otherwise readers will be mystified as to why I would mention adding a forum to the (...)

Newsgroup Skip-Filter Settings This is a brief primer on newsgroup skip-filter settings, for those who read LUGNET newsgroups using the web interface. By default, the top-level newsgroup article listings give a comprehensive view of all messages in (...) (20 years ago, 20-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
I am not disapproving of alternate lifestyles. I am disapproving the fact that I see no merit for that type of discussion to be on a LEGO topic site. Please prove me wrong by making use of the new group and stop flaming me. -Rob "Bill Ward" (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Louisiana bans gay marriages
 
(...) This isn't really strictly true; there are a lot of discussions in the .loc groups which have nothing to do with LEGO (for example, lodging, sightseeing, local politics), and pretty much anything and everything goes in the .org.xx.yyyyy groups (...)

  Re: Louisiana bans gay marriages
 
(...) Thanks for the information! There's lot of forums that I don't follow at all, but every now and then something comes up that I'm glad I caught, so I'm not sure I want to add anything to the skip-filter at the moment. However, this still leaves (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) This is a stupid poll. It's like "Have you stopped beating your wife?" Nobody's proposing any discussion of sex. The new newsgroup is a place for people who live a certain way, and who are also into Lego, to talk about their lives without (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Louisiana bans gay marriages
 
(...) Whatever occurs outside of 'off-topic' is supposed to be 'on-topic' to the focus of the site (LEGO). If this group itself is _not_ 'off-topic,' than all discussion should somehow revolve around LEGO. So far I haven't seen this thread tie in to (...)

  Re: Louisiana bans gay marriages
 
(...) We're talking about the same thing, the web based interface found here: (URL) OT and Admin groups are not blocked automatically by the system per se, that's just the default setting of your skip filter. If you look on the bottom of the main (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.people.lgbt, lugnet.admin.general)

  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) With wording like that, there is probably an internship at Fox News awaiting. What next a poll on apple pie, the flag and motherhood ? The lynch mob had better keep an eye on the 'singles' newsgroup, who knows what tales of conquest await us (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) That does surprise me. Now I'm curious-- what does made someone gay? Merely the fact that they are attracted to the same sex? What about heterosexuals who "opt into" the lifestyle? What makes them gay? JOHN (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general, FTX)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) I have a big problem with the way this poll is worded - its definitely one sided and misses the point of the 200+ postings on the main topic forum. It was explicity noted several times that "sexual topics" were NOT going to be discussed and (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) I think Terry's request is valid, Larry. Unless we've overlooked it somewhere (if so, please point it out), no statement has been provided to the LUGNET Membership explaining the decision-making rationale used for the newly created newsgroups.

  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) See the charters of the newly created groups. Or review the discussion that has went on here. Or in particular, review Todd's posts, the same ones you commended me to take a look at. I'm not sure it's productive to produce a summary purely for (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) You're right, I haven't read the whole thread, as it is far too long and i worked 60 hours this week, so I was kind of busy and out of it for a few days. Since you are part of the decision-making progress, I'd like for an explanation on why (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
 
  Re: Some facts about current events and a small opinion
 
(...) Precisely the reason why in my opinion this lgbt newsgroup doesn't belong here. (...) Agreed. (...) That's what I intend to do. I am not scared or offended, mind you.

  Re: New poll: sexuality and Lugnet
 
(...) Um, I was part of the decision making process, Terry, so telling me to check with Todd is perhaps a symptom that you haven't been paying close attention to the discussion on this topic or others relating to LUGNET operations. My comments are (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.general)
