The problems with this newsgroup does not fully reduce to those who
are functionally illterate in the English language.

IMNSHO, the largest threat to Usenet are the fucking Creationists,
making over the Internet in their God's image -- which is to say a
playground for corrupt, lying, hypocritical bigots.  These are most
often people who do not make their deviant ideology explicit (we
wouldn't understand), and may have enough formal eduation to pass
themselves off as 'learned', at least superficially.  But their
religious extremism underpins their values and they tend to place
themselves above mere civil considerations.  After all, they are
special people and not dirty commoners who are unable to fully
appreciate The Trvth.

Some of you will imagine I am speaking of Rick Hodgin but you would be wrong.  Rick is a distraction.
