Free Republic is already blocked as a “Hate” site by Computer Associates’ (CA) security suite parental controls.

Years and years ago, I tried to 'contact' a fundamental type Protestant preacher thru his on-line website . . . my letter used the word "homogeneous" and the website shut down when I typed that word. The first time I thought it was a fluke. The second time I realized that the security control didn't go past the first four letters of the word to shut me down.

To: HighlyOpinionated
This wasn't an issue of the software program scrutinizing the site for combinations of letters or words for hateful (whatever that means) or obscene language. Because if that were the case, Democratic underground would be blocked (Some of the most disgusting, mean, threatening language can be found there).

It was a "politically correct" decision of someone in the company.
