Thank you for the heads up on ALL CAPS.
It is clear you want to fight with me
This is my last response to your screen name.
I repeat, my intent is to simply make ANY WHO ARE INTRESTED aware that there is a place they can go to make a difference. Your intent seems to be to vent your own personal anger against me, because I do not agree with you. I am new to Free Republic & still learning the ropes.
Thanks for such a friendly welcome.

"It is clear you want to fight with me"

Disagreeing with someone is not the same as wanting 'to fight' with that person.

"I repeat, my intent is to simply make ANY WHO ARE INTRESTED aware that there is a place they can go to make a difference."

The moment people hear that 99%+ of the complaints are coming from one group, that group becomes instantly marginalized as a group of crazy folks. Should there indeed be a change effected, the inevitable backlash will bring about the most lax standards in television history.

"Your intent seems to be to vent your own personal anger against me"

My intent is to comment to something said on a forum; nothing more or less. If you understood this to be my intent, then my intent was misunderstood.

"Thanks for such a friendly welcome."

Welcome to FreeRepublic. I'm sorry that your first posting was met with critisism, but I'm not going to back down on what I believe just to make someone feel better. If this group really wants to make a difference, it should stop calling the FCC and start contacting cable companies and actual content distributors regarding what's seen on TV. Going through the FCC makes the group appear to be rabid Puritan statists intent on getting Orwellian governmental controls over all entertainment mediums enacted as soon as possible so as to purge any and all possibly objectionable material from the country. Going to the cable companies and content distributors instead of the FCC makes your complaints heard and allows the free market to work its magic free of government interference. The FCC was meant to help manage the broadcast spectrums; not to act as an Iranian-style government censorship board.
