Thread Name: Objectionable Material
Subject: RE: Objectionable Material
I guess what I find objectionable on the Internet is hatefulness. There's a line where the "dirty" stuff becomes hateful, but I think that line is pretty far off, and relatively rare - where it hits the point of really hurting people, not just upsetting their sensitivities. Other kinds of hatefulness are found all over the Internet, and I'm very grateful you don't find them very often here. What I consider objectionable is when people trash a site by overloading it with garbage, or stop people from communicating by hounding them out of chat rooms or by overwhelming flaming or personal attacks. That hardly ever happens here. Most of us are good, gentle people who are here to enjoy each others' company and to share ideas. I sure like that. -Joe Offer-
