They will praise the Holocaust in a Jewish newsgroup. ANYTHING.** [/li][li] **There is no effective filter imposed by needing to type. People type when high on drugs. People type when they think UFOs are talking to them right this second. People type when they couldn’t successfully get dressed without ripping or spraining something.** [/li][li] **Everything is offensive to someone. Something is offensive to everyone. Both classes of being have their own websites and newsgroups.** [/li][li] **Spam really is evil.** [/li][/ol]
