Interesting. So children use the internet unsupervised, I assume? Funny, but
whenever my father let me touch any part of his gun collection he made certain
of two things:that they weren't loaded and THAT I WAS SUPERVISED. Letting
children access the net without supervision is asking for trouble. I say that as
an educator who ran the school's computer lab and internet access. I know what
I'm talking about.

Well put! Too many people get offended so quickly by things that are ingrained
in our culture. It just goes to show that 'ignorance is bliss' is more than just
a quaint little phrase.

Very true. Lugnet has rules that must be obeyed. They might not be fair or even
clear in some cases, but they are the rules here and rules need to be obeyed.
