Flaming

I'm really disgusted by the reactions to Ben's suggestion regarding the
"appropriateness" of certain messages. For God's sake, he wasn't saying
that Kate ranked just below Paula Abdul on the talent scale, or that
r.m.g. should organize a public lynching of Tori Amos, or that certain
r.m.g. members had mothers who wore army boots.
 
I find it extremely ironic that many of the messages flaming Ben for
making an not unreasonable suggestion (that the material on here be
primarily about rm.g.'s main focus) called him "intolerant". People
in glass houses, etc., etc.
 
Someone suggesting a particular "direction" for r.m.g. material is not
a traitor, or a secret Motorhead fan, or an idiot. Lighten up, everyone!
 
P.S. I actually do like Paula Abdul and Motorhead too.
