- As someone has already posted, there is a difference between someone being
- "funny" and someone having the humor level of an uneducated cretin. There
- are plenty of people to bother on the net without seeming intollerant. For
- starters:
-
- alt.music.rush -- post saying that someone told you othey buy all of
- their music.
-
- alt.music.enya (fan.enya?) -- post asking about the porno movies
- that enya did to finance her leaving clanad.
-
- comp.sys.ibm.pc -- post asking how to turn on your computer.
-
- etc etc etc
-
- I don't know anyone "transgendered" (I thought the term was "gender-
- reassigned") and I don't expect to meet any such anytime soon. But as
- wierd as it might seem, what people do with their lives is their business
- and if you don't like it, ignore them. Personally I don't understand why
- anyone would live anywhere in middle america when they could live in CA
- and don't get me going about those mormons.... Secret names? Wierd shit,
- but hey if its what they want to do...
-
- It'd be a happier world if people were a little less vicious and little more
- willing to accept other people for what they are.
