The way I see it, if you go and visit someone, you respect their 
customs, correct? 
 Even if you don't totally agree with some of them, because if you 
couldn't agree with what they do, then you wouldn't go there.
You wouldn't try to force your beliefs on them in their own home, would 
you?
If you can't agree with the customs of certain newsgroups, then don't 
participate.
Not an argument, but real life.
