Regarding deliberately offensive articles
I request that we keep net.cooks, currently one of the most interesting
and productive non-programming news groups, free from articles that are
obviously intended only to offend the readers and to start discussion
about the offending articles that will preempt the intended use of the
news group.   I suggest that there be no respose to such articles, and
that users at the same location as the offenders use any techniques that
may be legal and acceptable to them to discourage the continued destructive
misuse of net.cooks.  A usefull place to discuss such articles might be
net.vandalism, however I am not proposing its formation. I agree with
that
arguement will only encourage individuals who apparantly demonstrate
a destructive intent.

P.S. Keep your replies short, I have no interest or patience with those
who wish to harrangue about free speech, without accepting the responsibility
that free speech places on the speaker.
