I know I'm going to get flamed for this, but this is ridiculous. I'm a newbie to this board, but I began posting to message boards in 1989 and met my husband at a chat board party that I organized in 1990, so I'm not a newbie to message boards in general.

If someone disagrees with you or posts items that offend you, pass over them. This is *NOT* someone coming into your home and defecating on your rug. This is an informative website and sometimes, some people are offended by some things that people post. That's part of the first amendment right of free speech.

On the other hand, spam should not be considered free speech. Flame the spammers, ignore the rest.
