I agree! Parents should feel comfortable, knowing that no topics contained herein will harm their children. It is a very serious shame that many parents are so confused aout right and wrong and health and harm that they might consider the exposure to homosexuals “inappropriate for their” children.

Don’t try and turn this into a homophobic issue. Topics WRT to sex are inappropriate for a family-safe site like LUGNET (save off-topic.debate)

John, I have mixed views on this but I’m pretty sure Ed is a nice guy who would not want to offend anyone and he would make sure all his posts fell within the ToS. So before we talk about what is “family-safe”, why not cancel your posts which contain xenophobia, intolerance, inferred-profanity and actual-profanity?

   But what can we do about it?

You can respect the desires of some parents who don’t wish their children exposed to these topics in this type of forum. What is so difficult about that?

   Forced re-education camps are pretty antithetical to our way of life even if that’s what is called for.

Well, that’s just your opinion IMO.

   Did you have a suggestion?


Play well

JOHN
