   Frank, I totally honor and agree with everything you wrote-- we can’t separate ourselves from ourselves and must be let to be who we are, but we can separate those real discussions that take place from the public. I don’t believe that that would compromise them one bit-- in fact, it would greatly inhance them IMO! No more tiptoeing around expletives (self-censoring for the sake of TOS); people can truly be and say who and want they want! Wouldn’t a freer and more open policy contribute to a more honest relationship among the participating AFOL community?

no more tiptoeing around expeletives? and you want to protect the children from .lgbt postings?

Please clarify

I’m talking about making .people groups and other OT groups private and only accessible by 18 yo members.

Ahh. That clarifies. That said, I’m 37 and I don’t swear. I have seen 13 year olds swear like sailors--Just as there are teenagers who believe that they should have access to .lgbt. Are the teenagers to be excluded?

Not the 18 and 19 year old ones;-)

Teens always believe that they should have access to adult things! Just ask my 17 year old daughter about my Jeep Wrangler! Younger teens would have access to a new, Super-Friendly™ LUGNET, and adults would feel free, unencumbered with being appropriate around kids, to participate in LUGNET “Blue”;-)

(...) And what about someone under 18 who is just coming to grips with their LGBT sexuality who happens to feel like he's finally found a community here at Lugnet that he can trust to talk about it? Do we deny that individual the opportunity to grow (...) (20 years ago, 22-Sep-04, to lugnet.admin.nntp)
