      If you're sick of it, don't look at it.  Nobody is forcing you to
look at it.  Just ignore it.

      In addition, AnthroChat has nothing to do with Ludwig's web page
content and little to do with what text he puts in his own channel's topic.

      If you don't think Ludwig is managing his own channel in a way that
is acceptable to you, you are free to create your own channel, manage
it as you see fit, and invite any of the members of his channel that you
think would agree with you.

      Nobody gets banned from AnthroChat for text that they send across
the Internet, which is IRC's primary function and, for the most part,
the only thing it can be used for.  It is made very clear on our web
site and in our mission statement that AnthroChat is founded on the
ideal of freedom of speech.  If someone is speeching at you, you're free
to either ignore it or speech back at them.  AnthroChat is merely a
common carrier, relaying the text that users generate to other users.
AnthroChat does not generate the text.  If you have problems with the
text that someone is generating, take it up with that person or ignore
it.

      If you're completely incapable of utilizing your brain's ability
to choose not to respond, or if our freedom of speech policy bothers
you, simply do not connect to AnthroChat.  Again, nobody is forcing you
to be there.

      Those charges must be filed against the individual as they have
absolutely nothing to do with AnthroChat.

      Ignoring it or choosing to not expose yourself to it is much easier
and far less frivolous and expensive.

      We're generally not awake at 4:00 in the morning.
