I have to agree.  I simply ignored it, even though it was in extremely
poor taste.  But, when folks objected because it was not bee related and
was objectionable they were flamed down.  On the other hand when I
suggested that 'macro' evolution was a poor tool to investigate honeybee
behavior, I was shouted down because I was preaching religion.  I never
even mentioned or suggested anything religious.  I find the two cases
very revealing of the attitude of many people on the list.
