I'll have to check the particular Terms and Conditions for
off-topic.debate but I thought they were the same. Some people
therefore will be breaking LUGNET rules.

Acknowledged but some law somewhere won't like it.

Well I used the word ill - like someone with cerebal palsy for example -

think of a better word to use. There's nothing wrong with having

with homosexuals this is impossible.

private server.
