Have you seen some of the vile posters like Chewbacca, Keith Stone and T-Rex fling about on here? Most of it is inane but you just shrug it off. 10% of posts here are useful running-wise, 30% is funny or creative and the rest is basically garbage. You can't go running to the moderators every time someone posts something mildly objectionable. You just ignore it.[/quote]

I've been on the boards for many years, and I know exactly the kind of stuff that gets posted here. Fatass and dyke are not "mildly objectionable." They are hostile and nasty words.
This is exactly the kind of content that makes many people not want to participate in the LRC message board community.
I can't be the only person who comes to these boards to read about running and training, and for the jokes. It's possible to be funny and entertaining without being racist or sexist and alienating a substantial portion of the running community.
