Let's forget the fact that I was in the midst of a nervous breakdown at the time, as Mark apears to be going through one as well, but I gladly point out that most of the people were not offended with that *single* post that mentioned that (it was not vulgar or explicit, as Mark's posts are, and I do not remember hearing one complaint about it). Mark's posts have offended numerous people who openly say as much. I never described sexual acts. He has. I never used vulgar language. He has. In fact, if you review the legal definition of obscene, I think you will find that my post over 4 years back (read statute of limitations, so get off your high horse and drop it) does not qualify as obscene because no sexual acts were described in it. If Mark wants to come back once he has gotten this out of his system I would welcome him. Heck, if he would agree to refrain from posting such material, I would welcome his staying and discussing things with him (I even tried having discussions with him before he started spouting this stuff). But if he is going to continue this behavior, I think he should be removed from the list.
