I was kicked off of the tap-l list because I replied to a poster’s wish that we to donate to the Scouts (physics stuff)  that the scouts were a homophobic org.  later back on the list I pointed out that Berkeley (city) would not subsidize the scout boat docking, because they were homophobic.  AND later the scoutmaster was convicted of paedophilia.
