      Oh brother! Here we go again! By innocent I simply mean this......

      There are people who do not like her, right? True, some do not
      because she is/was with Leonardo. Frankly, while I think he is a good
      actor I could not care less who he dates. There are also people who
      have other reasons not to like her. The whole point of this
      club/group is just for people who do not like her to have a place to
      rant, so to speak. Just to get it off their chests and talk about it
      with people who share the same sentiments. But it is not a place for
      people to post, whether as a "joke" or not, anything related to how
      to murder this woman!(Though nothing is funny about murder!) Having a
      reason for disliking her and posting messages discussing ways to kill
      her are really quite opposite things, one is allowed the other is a
      bit too extreme. To be sure, dislike and hate are not entirely the
      same, either. And while this group is for people who dislike her, I
      will not tolerate posts that allude to outright hate, be it as a so-
      called joke or not. There are some sick people out there who would
      seriously consider the type of thing mentioned in that post, and I do
      not want that element in this group. So, hey, I may not like her, for
      reasons that are my own, but never would I ever even think to make
      such harsh remarks about her or anyone else! So while innocence is an
      illusion, hate is wrong flat out and hate will not be tolerated in
      this group. In the past, as often as time has permitted, I and other
      moderators have even deleted any posts that use excessive language
      when referring to her. We try to keep this group from going that far.
      If my letting people know that such extremes will not be allowed is
      bothering you, I am sorry. But whether we choose to like her or not,
      she is a human being like the rest of us, with good aspects as well
      as faults, and I will not allow anyone to come in here and post
      anything about murdering her! I do not see that as anything to get
      angry over. ::confused:: And, if it is about the fact I am just
      trying to prevent any big arguments in this club you are upset over,
      I apologize, yet stand by it. I am not angry at anyone for their
      opinions about Gisele, or this group for that matter. So none of this
      is personal. I have just seen too many clubs get so crammed with
      posts agruing over things that I just decided not to let that happen
      here. If people getting together to discuss why they dislike her
      bothers you, I am sorry. But people have different opinions, and that
      is just the opinion of those who join this group. Simple as that. In
      fact, you tell me if you EVER see anyone from this group going into a
      pro-Gisele club only to point out her faults, and I will go apologize
      for that and ask them to leave this group, as I do not approve of
      that type of activity.

      As a side note - I have talked this over with the moderators, and we
      have decided for the time being, only a trial period mind you, that
      we will have to approve every message sent through this group. This
      is not to prevent fans of hers from joining or posting, this is ALL
      about the first issue mentioned above.


      P.S. I believe you said in a trial the judge is guilty? A judge is
      NOT always guilty of the crime being tried. There CAN be a trial, say
      for murder, in which the judge has never killed anyone. Why is this
      so hard for people to understand? lol Anyway, found this, thought you
      might enjoy......


      in·no·cence Pronunciation Key (n-sns)

      Freedom from harmfulness; inoffensiveness.

      Discussing reasons we do not like her = harmless.
      Posting messages about killing her = harmful and offensive!

      But thank you for taking the time to give us your well thought out
      opinions. (NOT meant in a sarcastic way!) Most people would just
      say "oh bite me!" at least yours was more intelligent and thought
      out. :)
