I'd hoped to avoid this thread again so soon, but whatever.
You have absolutely no reason to make an accusation like that,
and no way to defend it. I've never quoted you; never talked
with you; never exchanged email with you. You're arguing without
any facts on the table.
Let's cut to the chase: alt.sex.bestiality is an indefensible
application of public funds. It's an indefensible thing to bring
into the public schools. It's equally unnacceptable to allow the
government to serve as censor.
That's a problem, and it's not gonna go away until reasonable people
address it honestly. Better me than the Baptists, but if you'd rather
wait six months until they get TENET accounts and take up the cause,
more power to you. I'm sure it'll make an amusing article.
