Petulent self-rightousness isn't required either John.

But if you need an environment with a babysitter and thorough sterilization, and if you don't have the self control to click on the X when you see something that bothers you, maybe this was never an appropriate venue for you anyway. Try this one instead...www.healthboards.com. Their boards are fully moderated with a fulltime babysitter. I didn't like that, but you might.

People who post offensive threads are obviously not in their right minds. Offfensive or not, I don't think anyone should be shutout or babysat. If a post looks offensive as you start reading it, don't finish reading it. Click the X and go to another thread. For every bad thread, there are at least a couple dozen other real good ones to choose from. Why anyone even gives a bad thread a moment's notice is beyond my comprehension. Why focus on a bit of compost but not the flowers all around?
