Parents should feel comforatable letting their kids view and post to
LUGNET without fear of encoumtering topics they may feel are

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?

1999? Five years ago?? You have got to be kidding.
Looks like you dug pretty deep for this one, Scott. Why does it seem you’re
able to so readily present examples such as this against the likes of John,
Lar, [insert person you clash with here]? Almost as if you deliberately
index these sorts of examples for convenient times like this.
Always ready with the dagger, eh?

If intolerance is supposed to be a criteria for cancelling posts, most of the
homosexualists’ posts would also have to be pulled off as well. It’s rather
hypocritical to be tolerant (read ‘approving’) of only those people who are
tolerant of you, and intolerant of those you feel are intolerant of you.
Basically this is a kindergarten mindset of “I’ll like you if you like me, but
I’ll hate you if you hate me.” Welcome to the new tolerance.
