Hi,

I must agree with this member.
There is no need to allow someone
to post pornographic matterial in
your group. There are plenty of
places where this can be done and
is exceptable.

To think that you are infringing
on ones freedom of speech by
limiting them to posting adult
material under the adult heading
is ludicrus. It is also being a
coward who is not willing to
stand up for what is right.

Remember, the constitution protects
our right to express our opinions and
idea's. It does not protect the blatant
disregard to peoples right to limit what
they choose to hear, read, or learn about.

We have rights, and those rights end
where another persons rights begin.
Thus, my right to not to read adult
content limits anothers right to post it.
The poster is therefore required by
out constitution to post his or her
content in a legitimate manner.
Calling it what it is, adult content.
When a poster does not designate adult
content as adult content, he has
violated my right to avoid that content
and not read it. In misrepresenting
his content, he has forced me to
view that which I would rather avoid.

Further more, posting content in the
wrong heading is considered spamming.
And as such, most ISPs will close
your account for such actions without
hesitation and without asking you to
change the heading.

There are Christian chat rooms that one
can go to, unfortunately so can those
who are not Christians. Often we are
forced by these individuals who have
no sence of decency to read their
profanity in the chatroom. While some
may think that limiting such posts
is preventing freedom of speech it is
not. It is merely requiring all to
atain to a level of mutual respect for
others. And this is not infringing on
anyone's freedom of speech.
