well then Usenet is not for you. there are other places to go on the
Internet but wherever you go you will find some people who do not share your
values or conform to what you consider correct behaviour.

it is best to learn fast to ignore that which you do not like. there is a
simple rule in life: do not subject yourself to something you don't like and
can walk away from.

it's got nothing to do with my ego, it is merely an observation of what
happens on Usenet and in life in general. i cannot change the way others
act, i can only change my own actions to compensate.

>I rest my case and gladly accept the judgement of others.

there are no judges nor any hierarchy here. everyone is a peer. opinions are
merely that. some think i'm right, others think i'm wrong. in this
particular case, i know i'm right:

kids should not play unsupervised on the Internet and should be barred from
accessing Usenet because of it's inherent adult content.

as an adult you are quite entitled to your view that some Usenet postings
are not your cup of tea, just as you have preferences for what programs you
watch on tv. on Usenet you can filter out content that you don't wish to
read. that is your best recourse, but there are plenty of people who try to
insist that others modify the content of their postings. so far that
approach has been a complete failure.
