If you look at just this one thread you'll find a number of people
speaking out against your intolerance. If you know about filtering,
then why aren't you filtering what you don't want to read? It's simple
enough, and after the 10 years you claim to have been around it's odd
you haven't managed to do it.

And if you feel this forum is dying, why don't you launch an
interesting (and positive) discussion point, and not revive this sad
bickering.
