I have not spoken with Jim or Marc about this, so this comment is my own opinion at this time.
When we organized SLLUG and set up this site we felt that adult technologists would be using it.
It was meant to be here so we could help each other with Linux and open source related problems.
This site was not meant to be used to promote aything political, religious, or, as seems to be
the case now, childish. It was definately not set up as a forum wherein its subscribers could be
abusive towards each other.
Please, quit being abusive. Please act responsibly. This will allow us, as a community, to continue
to provide useful service which will help each of us grow. It would be a bad thing if our subscribers
felt they had to unsubscribe so as not to be insulted or read abuse language.
I hope this is all that needs to be said on the subject and done to stop this problem.

Thanks for your cooperation.
Doug
