Nope, you're missing the point, Mike and Art. It's not that I condone the shit. As stated above, I haven't even read it this time around. Last time around, I spent many hours pouring over the bullshit, trying to figure out who was kidding, what they meant, who was the worst offender. At the end of it I concluded that, as I'm neither you guys' mama nor babysitter, it's simply not my job to control what you say to or about each other.
All I've done this time around is ask a few more ppl interested in the open Elan forum for their opinions. And, except for you two and maybe one or two other drive by demands to work for free, everyone else says pretty much what Matt said; variations of let the bullshit roll off, there's good and true content in there; the bullshit itself is a prime illustration of what Elan is/was.
The anon in this thread is, imo, quite correct. I did set up a forum just for you and your approved/chosen participants. But you guys virtually neglect that one and, instead, spend all your time stressing and obsessing over material that you find to be offensive.

That's exactly the point! If you truely believe that the specific way in which the pixels are arranged on the screen when you read that forum constitute criminal activity, go ahead and call in the law or the lawyers. However, I think you already screwed the pooch on that one w/ your own comments. The only difference I can see between the hateful things that you're complaining about and the hateful things you yoursleves have posted is that your targets are politically incorrect dweebs while their targets are politically correct dweebs.
Either way, it's not my job to sheild your virgin eyes from anything. All responsibility for all postings in these forums lies w/ the respective authors, as stated in the terms of use.
Frankly, if you suckers didn't jump to respond to the shit, nobody would and whoever's posting it all would likely get bored and give it up. All you're doing is making it fun and interesting for them. But if you're bent on seeing blood, fine, go ahead. go after the little bastard(s). But please quit whinning to me about it.
