I disagree profoundly with Charles' religious leanings but it's >just like tv...BYPASS it if you don't like it.. I agree with you, but I have something to say. Everyone is saying that it is free speech basically. It is Dan's right to post what he wants to on his site. Essentially that is true...but not without consequences. Mine may be an unpopular opinion, but I must say that it is also Mr. Bauer's right to complain about it if he sees fit. He is allowed to complain about a religious article posted to Mac-Content site (or at least bring it to the attention of advertisers so that they are aware of it). He probably didn't join Lem to talk about religion. He probably joined to talk about Macs. Why is everyone slamming him for complaining? It's his free speech right just as it is Dan's to post such an article. (disclaimer: I don't know Mr. Bauer, and he may be a total jerk in real life. I have only heard of him through this discussion). Dan knows that I am not a religious person and we get along fine, but he also know that I support LEM 100%. This article bothered me as well. Not to the point where I would contact advertisers, but it did bother me, and I am a Nanny on many LEM lists. It made me wonder if I should spend anymore time here with LEM. It made me wonder if I want my name attached to a Mac site that promotes religious rants by it's writers. I think it is important for you all to consider (whether you like it or not) that about 20% of this population at LEM (as in US Society) is not only *not* Christian, but not religious at all. We have rights as well. Sometimes people who are devoutly religious stomp all over other people's toes without even thinking that they are doing anything wrong or offending. I suggest that everyone think about it. I think about how my opinions and statements will affect a religious person before I make them, and you should do the same. I have said my peace. I will allow anyone else to say theirs, but I declare this thread dead at 7p.m. PST today Friday 12/13. Please drop it by then.
