Some have suggested that certain religious beliefs are being actively
ignored, and that allowing the creation of an LGBT group, which openly
embraces a lifestyle that is counter to those beliefs, is disrespectful to
those beliefs.  The fact is that while LUGNET respects all religious

here in determining whether or not the creation of an LGBT group is
warranted.

collectors would be to make a .religion group.  Another group that could
have a necessity here is a .politics group.  If it's not only about the LEGO
but also about the people who play and collect the LEGO, you might as well
warrant making newsgroups to cover _ALL_ issues that the people have a right
to discuss.  If they get used, great!  But they can't get used if they
aren't there.  Let's all get together and let Lugnet grow together to fit
EVERYONE'S needs!
