I couldn't have said this better myself.  If my mailbox keeps getting
fillled with drivel like this thread I will have to unsubscribe after
being a listmember since 1994.  Let's get the list back to the
discussion of Vanagons.  It's a mistake to think that anyone but the
government is in the business of guaranteeing anyone's free speech
rights--your employers isn't, and this list isn't.

The outrage in the comment below is genuine and
sincere...and it illustrates why racist jokes are even
more inappropriate than pornography in a forum like
this.  The Internet is big enough to accommodate hate
speech for those who want/need it.  The vanagon list is
not.

Sorry, i thought this whole mess was dead, but then the
bigot starts joking about his unbelievably offensive
comments.  It is too much to ask that others just sit
here and accept it as OK.  It can't possibly be ok in
any civil forum.
