I am sorry to say that, but for me, this is a so typically American statement, that touts certain values and conceptions, but where I just do not see any link to a concrete situation and how to deal with it. Maybe it's the nature of this forum - I am obviously a very young poster here - but I have the impression that it's preferred to not openly, and perhaps emotionally, discuss a certain subject, but rather try to be all friends in this "haven". I don't think the world works that way. We have a poster who, in my eyes, disrespects other members of this board by treating them like children, with, and I repeat, statements and a general ideology that I consider *dangerous*. This is not something that is solved privately or through babblemail. Since Lou is not a new poster, I guess that those responsible have decided and will stay with their decision to accept his behavior, which is clearly unsocial to me, but I seem to be not alone in being frustrated with this. It's madness to me that there is even a discussion necessary on the point whether the posts Lou carelessly throws into discussions, disregarding any and every question/remark/comment/critic that others point out to him, are valid contributions to this forum. I am more "appalled" by how noone reacts to his behavior than by anything else.
As for the "don't read his posts"-thing. First, his posts are all over the place, but that isn't even the point. The point is not that I disagree with him, although I do of course, but how he destroys actual conversations and discussions, with a detrimental effect for all participants.
Anyhow, I guess I now have said so many things that "accuse" that I will be blocked for quite some time, but at least I spoke my mind.
