We can't have jerks yelling ''FIRE'' in a theatre. Agreed?

Yelling "FIRE!" in a newsgroup doesn't cause a panic and
rush to the exits where people get trampled and die.


Agreed. but constant swearing, vulgar abusive language, in an
established group of ''friendly sailors'' is disrubtive, to say the
least.

It's the fight that ensues when someone tries to appoint themselves
as the authority over what's allowed to be said that causes the
disruption. If folks just filtered/ignored it and continued their
normal conversations there wouldn't be a disruption. (there wouldn't
be a fight.)


You wouldn't want an older man talking dirty to a pre-teen girl.
Right?

A parent that allows a preteen girl to wander in an adult
environment is not fulfilling their duties as a parent.

You think letting one's daughter go to school is neglectful?

Huh?

There is no comparison between a school for preteens and Usenet.

Yeah, you're right. It's more like high school.

Yes, but the abuse@ address is not the newsgroup babysitter.
