I can't believe the trash I'm seeing in response to this man's
request. He doesn't say whether he is the
"National-medieval-policy-enforcer" or a public school Internet
administrator.
Before you go off and berate the man for trying to do his job,
couldn't you have had the common courtesy to ask if he is trying to
censor the masses, or protect the children?
Jeez, maybe children have may me a bit more conservative, but
obviously, I'm the only one that's trying to protect them (mine).
Its attitudes like this that make the Internet such a fun place to
be. :-(
