What I think is equally sad, though [1], is that people can't seem to respect that many want to enjoy their (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

| (...) Agree! (...) I'd guess not, until it really becomes requested. To be honest, I'd probably prefer to see a .christian newsgroup before I saw a .men newsgroup, just because ".men" speaks to roughly 95% of the LUGNET population (going by (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)

I don't understand the use for any of them, since I believe the LEGO experience is not influenced by sexual identity, but hey, if we're gonna have (...)

| 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 (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.people, lugnet.admin.nntp)

You can't expect everyone to shelve their own beliefs/desires (...) (20 years ago, 19-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
