Sorry, but before I identify as a Scouter, I first identify as an American... and anytime someone says they're going to "block" or "delete" or "censor" free speech, I say NO, and offer the warning that you don't "get it" when it comes to Free Speech.

The proper response to "offensive" speech is MORE SPEECH, not less... especially in a forum specifically categorized as "politics" where there are deeply-held and fundamental beliefs.     The "sanitizing" of opinions is not healthy, despite your good intentions.

I'm allowed to censor. Terry is allowed to censor.  Twitter is allowed to censor.   Facebook is allowed to censor.  The USG is not allowed to censor.  It's a really simple concept.

And if the horse has been rotting on the ground for a year, you’re allowed to flail it!
Did we do something in another thread that needs us to be reminded?

Is it "harmful" to point out these facts: Gay men use meth at a rate 20 times the general population, gay men contract HIV/AIDS at a rate 14 times their share of the population, a study of San Francisco gay men found that 20% had more than 1000 sexual partners, that the suicide rate for post-op transexuals is the same as pre-op transexuals.

Maybe we should restrict males from joining the BSA?
