You would've probably deleted >his message if he wrote how much he regretted JFK's death. When i stay up on >the internet all night, i find it more amusing to visit adult sites, than bug >someone. I wanted to say so much more, but it's so late that i forgot what to >say. Remember that Fernando started a firestorm a couple of weeks ago with remarks about women that could be taken the wrong way. _those_ were technically not offensive, as they contained no four-letter words. But they _obviously_ offended some here, to the point that those offended had decided to not post any more. So just because it didn't include four-letter words, nor direct personal insults, that doesn't mean it shouldn't be removed... There are other sorts of non-useful posts as well... probably including most of this thread now that everyone has had their say...
