	Three cheers for prejudice!  Hip hip hooray!
	You know, if we were all just a little more hateful, and encouraged the 
harassment of fringe groups, I think UseNet's problems would go away a lot 
faster.
	In addition, I'd like to add my support to those enlightened folks who 
look for results, not causes.  After all, if someone's bothering you, there's no 
*way* they can have a good reason for what they're doing.  Having people invade, 
harass, and generally make life miserable for a newsgroup that for many is the 
closest thing to family there is is *no* excuse to talk to their ISPs.  I mean, 
if freedom of speech doesn't mean you can offend and insult whoever you like 
without worrying about the consequences, I don't know what good it is.
	Let's hear it for irresponsibility, pettyness, and usenet gang warfare 
in general!
