Yes, and those lead messages with the two homosexuality subject lines were definitely offensive.

Agreed. I guess I should print out the more controversial stuff, because I don't recall the Scott thread getting "crazy". I was only the third to post to it, so maybe I missed something. I was wondering why there were two threads titled "Homosexuality". Did someone change the Scott subject line to that? Maybe that's where my own confusion is coming from.

I find it interesting that after all the subject matter covered on the show, this is what some people get upset about. Maybe I'm being naive, but a boycott might not really be a bad thing for the show. It might get it some publicity that would result in more viewers. I'm thinking ot the big uproar caused when "Soap" came on.

Really...and how this all affects the Scott/Meredith situation.

Okay, I'll try to remember them. Thanka. Sorry about the death-threats. Hopefully, those people are gone. I wonder why they even think you have any say in what gets on the show?
