I have been posting to Usenet for several years and haven't seen a single newsgroup that doesn't have a fair amount of OT posts. Likewise, I haven't seen any newsgroup that was destroyed by such posts. Most people are smart enough to avoid posts that don't appeal to them. With judicious use of filters and killfiles you don't even have to see the posts. I don't know why people would suddenly lose interest in gardening because someone posted a politically slanted article about a store with a garden center. That seems as puzzling as all the people who claim that everyone would lose interest in marriage if it were make available to same-sex couples. Is THAT what they're claiming? I've been trying to figure out what they're talking about when they say "same sex marriage would "destroy" traditional marriage", since the people who say that don't seem capable of explaining what that is supposed to mean. :/ That's all I come away with. Rick Santorum keeps saying that some unspecified Scandinavian county adopted same-sex marriage and all the straight people stopped getting married. Of course there are no Scandinavian countries with same-sex marriage, only civil unions - an institution that even Rick Santorum says would be possible under the Federal Marriage Amendment. It reminds me of all the hysteria in the 1960's when civil rights laws precluded discrimination in housing and many people screamed that if you let blacks into your neighborhood it would be ruined. There are plenty of county clubs that are afraid to let women or Jews into the ranks for fear of ruination. I have never heard a rational argument to support any of these arguments. |
