>I think you guys are pretty intolerant yourselves with all due respect the use of the word intolerant is innapropriate when someone is objecting to rascist , anti-semetic,neo-nazi rants,ravings and postings just like it would be incorrect to call the law against hate crimes"intolerant" you cannot burn a cross on someones front lawn in the US in an effort to excercise your right to free speech.. the law banning it is not intolerant it is an anti- hate crime law. it is a simple fact that the CTF is filled with these sorts of postings on a daily basis. there are a very small few who attempt to post reasonable,interesting ,well informed messages on the CTF but this is quite rare and few and far between personally i found it impossible to carry on an informed discussion about chess or music(for example) while all around me there is a neo-nazi rally taking place so i stopped visiting the site a few months ago. Many CCC members object to any linkage with the CTF i was one of them,but since the sponsers have assured the CCC membership that due to the donation of a sole CTF member, now not one penny of donations from CCC members will go towards the CTF then ,the issue really is closed for me Tolerant Regards Steve > > Albert
