Eric's error (?) here was quite simple. He forgot to put a smiley in there after the word 'hate' I think that is generally acceptable on the net to mean that the word 'hate' was not meant to be taken literally. I did not have any problem with what he meant. The Monitor question has been discussed here many times before, and the answer always works out to be 'Let freedom reign'. It would be impossible to monitor because everyone's parameters as to what is or is not acceptable differs too widely. Much worse has crossed these wires in the past. Also, as has been repeated here many times, there is always the 'delete button'.
