Steve

many members(as well as present and past CCC moderators) are objecting to the
over the top nature of the CTF
from what i have learned of CTF in the begginning it was not always this bad
why not simply moderate the overly rascist posting more closely?
surely your definition of free speech does not include openly rascist,or hateful
postings?
i am sure you are not trying to imply that the CTF should become  what the rgcc
was in order to keep the CCC 'ON TOPIC"?
if that is the case why not simply post a link to the rgcc on the top of the
page instead of the CTF?

actually i like the idea of being able to discuss other things with CCC members
i have met here  in a nice reasonable,relaxed atmosphere
but as soon as i go to the CTF i see postings about killing gays,bombing
Israel,comparing african americans to gorillas etcetc
i simply cannot then engage in a relaxed discussion about cars or music or
whatever with all of that swirling around me
why the "TAKE IT OR LEAVE IT" approach with the CTF?

PUZZLED REGARDS
