Volatile topics, e.g., soc.women: What do you think about abortion?
Although abortion might appear to be an appropriate topic for
soc.women, more heat than light is generated when it is brought
up. All abortion-related discussion should take place in the
newsgroup talk.abortion. If your site administrators have chosen
not to receive this group, you should respect this and not post
articles about abortion at all.
This principle applies to other topics: religious upbringing of
children should be restricted to talk.religion.misc and kept out
of misc.kids. Similarly, rape discussions should be kept to
talk.rape and not in soc.singles, alt.sex and/or soc.women,
Zionism discussions should be kept to talk.politics.mideast and
not in soc.culture.jewish; likewise, evangelical and
proseletyzing discussions of Jesus or of religions other than
Judaism should go to newsgroups for the appropriate religion or
to talk.religion.misc or alt.messianic. Any attempts to
proselytize any religious view belongs in talk.religion.misc, if
they belong on the net at all. Discussions on the merits of
Affirmative Action and racial quotas belong in a talk.politics
subgroup or alt.discrimination, not in
soc.culture.african.american. Discussions about evolution vs.
creationism should be confined to the talk.origins group.
Usenet newsgroups are named for mostly historical reasons, and
are not intended to be fully general discussion groups for
everything about the named topic. Please accept this and post
articles in their appropriate forums.
