Ladies and Gentlemen,
As you can see, we have had another visit from this pest. We go through this every day, generally several times.
When we dust him immediately, we get people telling us we should leave them for people to tear into. When we don't, we get people telling us to get this crap off of FR and to "not have another repeat of yesterday's nonsense".
I have decided to hijack this thread and use it to get opinions. What do you all think? Should this troll be nuked each time he shows up, or should we let him post?
This won't be a vote per se. Only one vote counts- Jim's. However, here is your chance to argue one way or the other. If you are persuasive, maybe you will get your way.
Thanks, AM
Bev's a "RAT", BIG TIME!

Another reason why psychiatrists tend towards arrogance and foolishly ignore true natures of man. Man possesses body, soul and spirit. Criminal behavior is sinful and scars the soul. Some are scarred so much that they are numb to most intuitive conscious feedback of their behavior and thoughts. Nevertheless, if a man is lacking body, soul or spirit then he doesn't meet the identity as man.

School district upholds decision against ratTuesday, December 18, 2001
TRACY LOEW
McKay High School senior Sarah Ball has lost her battle to include her pet rat in her yearbook photo.
Her family received a letter Saturday from district officials upholding principal Rey Mayoral’s decision to reject the photo, which shows Rotten Rat draped over Ball’s shoulder.
Because published rules did not ban pets, Ball said she still thinks she is right. She plans to sue the district, even though last week’s publication deadline means she probably won’t be in the book at all.
“I want to go to court,” Ball said. “It just didn’t seem like they reviewed it very well.”
Ball gained national attention after she went public with her battle, granting interviews with talk shows and news programs across the country.
Dozens of readers called or wrote the newspaper.
Many offered support, including the Portland-based Rat Allies and the Chico, Calif.-based Rat Fan Club.
“If I had a student who showed her individuality in a harmless way, I’d be praising her to the skies,” said Michelle Buchanan, a former high school teacher who lives in New York City.
Others backed Mayoral.
Kathleen Hanneman, the district’s director of secondary education, said she carefully considered the family’s arguments, studied previous yearbooks, and reviewed school and district policy before making her decision.
“The key element was that in our policy, the school principal is the editor and publisher of all school publications,” Hanneman said. “That particular language basically supports his decision.”
Mayoral did not respond to requests for an interview.
He had offered to run the photo of Ball with the rat elsewhere in the book, and to pay to have her picture for the senior portrait section retaken. Ball rejected both offers.
Hanneman said her decision won’t set a precedent for other cases, she said.
“Each yearbook adviser has guidelines,” she said.
Ball’s mother, Lori McMichael, said she’ll support whatever decision her daughter makes.

The democrats are really scared of these fellows not because they are criminals, but because they are the good guys that are going after them the criminals.
