John in Hull. Oops, sorry I posted to that thread without thinking.

I agree with you, though I think ignoring is the best policy - like the Satanic Verses issue one can't condemn truly without having read it. However, if it is distasteful then just ignore it!

However, laughter is another good policy - I burst out laughing at a flasher a while ago and he hobbled off quickly into the night, struggling with his zipper..and that "Eminem Rules" thread, whilst not offensive in the racist, etc sense was a collective masterpiece of dealing with "nonsense".
