FER CYRIN OUTLOUD!!! If you think that a thread is gonna offend you, dont read the sumbitch.

Personally, I couldn't care any less about the shaving habits or lack thereof of any Mudcatter, but if someone wants to talk about it I won't stand in their way, on the other hand though, you'll see that I neither started that thread or contributed to it.

If enough people speak out against a thread because they are offended, and said thread is deleted, we have just allowed a group however large or small to censor us.

The minute that we allow censorship because someone is offended by a thread will be the beginning of the end of the CAT. Granted, this is a private forum that Max has graciously allowed us to visit. If he chooses to censor the Cat, then that is his business.

It boils down to the simple fact that you are your own censor. If you don't like a program on television, you turn it off, don't like rap music on your radio, change the station. If you dont like a thread title, subject, postings, or the people who have posted to it don't read the bastard, but whatever you do, don't try to tell me what I should or shouldn't read.

Rant over...
