Let's say, theoretically, I want to start a Yahoo! group demegrating  and 
trashing anyone from Cincinnati!
Man, I just can't stand anyone from Cincinnati!
Should anyone join my group? Should anyone acknowledge the existence of my 
group or  dignify its creation by discussing it with others?  Should my group 
be allowed to languish or flourish depending on its quality  or merit?

Let's hope that Yahoo! groups remains uncensored and does not try to deny 
anyone their first amendment rights as long as the group operates within the 
confines of the law.

If the group mentioned in this message does exist, it will wither and die a 
slow, agonizing death under the weight of its own insignificance.

  Thanks for posting this to the list Nancy.  That is really jacked up.  I 
wondered when all this democracy out here would be used to hurt people.  The 
scary thing is, I know folks that would love a list like this.  What a 
wonderful use of computer time, causing other people pain, not!
   Folks love to flame others from the safety and anonymity of their homes but, 
they will be judged if they throw stones like this.

  Hi everybody, I just received this on another list and thought that you 
should know about it.  I don't know if there is anything that can be done about 
this, but it's really bad.  Here is the message.
  Hi all.

  Are you all aware that on yahoogroups, there is a group called blind-tard.
  This group is specifically to denegrade, trash and otherwise insult blind
  people.  I was told about it and went to investigate it.  I have been told
  that there are blind people who have gone to investigate this and have
  written to yahoogroups, so I thought I'd pass this on in case you were so
  inclined.  I have already sent some feedback to yahoogroups myself.  Below
  is how this group advertises itself.  You can find it yourself on
  yahoogroups.  It's quite despicable.

  Welcome to the Blind Tards yahoo group. Have you ever had to deal with a
  stupid blind person? Someone so stupid they deserve to be on your better off
  dead
  list? Have you seen someone who has the social grace of a pet rock, the
  brains of a giant sea turtle, and the common sense of a sunbather in the
  antarctic?
  Well, here's the place to tell the world. We would encourage you to change
  names where appropriate, but if you don't, then we're not responsible for
  any backlash. We don't give a rat's a$$ ...(
