4. i think its perfectly ok to ignore a question when its asked offensively
examples: why is hillary such a bitch? is ann coulter a tranny?

the skinner kid question was asked in such a grotesque way that i put the author on ignore.

i think if one of the admins had a gay child, it would likely changed the way they saw lgbt issues. they would be more sensitive to snide attacks and subtle bigotry toward lgbt people (one hopes).

however, there is no reason to call someone's child crotchrot. i personally dont really like children, and think that people should adopt more instead of making so many babies, and yet i found that really offensive.
