Hey, YO!  WAKE UP!
I beg of you all!

Recently, I saw an ignorant article in this newsgroup which denigrated
gays.  Since then, several people have fanned this person's flames,
usually making fun of his narrow-minded attitudes, not to mention his
spelling.  The discussion has actually gone through TWO iterations!

STOP IT!  If you see an article in netnews (or an action anywhere
else) which seems meant only to attract attention, don't offer that
attention in public.  Bawl out the person in private (using mail) but
don't try to make fun of him.  That's just stooping down to his
level and serving his low purpose.
