| So in other words, we should respect your beliefs, but you don't have to respect others' beliefs. Yay for double standards! As Todd said, you can just *not read* that group. No one is forcing you to. Personally, if people leave over something so (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.nntp)

| (...) I disagree-- it seems like heterosexual white males are by far the majority on Lugnet. As one of them, I'm not looking for a small subgroup to call my own. I expect you're not either. If I were a woman or gay or black? How easy would it be to (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

| (...) Todd, I think that a heterosexual newsgroup is needed to be fair. And if you were to create a newsgroup for women, a newsgroup for men should be required too. And since Lugnet is aiming to be something other than LEGO-related with these (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

| (...) Todd, I'm posting this only to play Devil's Advocate... Your statement appears self-contradictory, as both "personal _______ beliefs" and "needs and desires" come from the same pot. You can't expect everyone to shelve their own beliefs/desires (...) (22 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
