Heres something funny one woman notified the state of NJ that AOL had been been too aggressiveRead More monitoring her posts. The state warned the ISP as a result of the complaint. Now the HuffingPost handles what use to be the AOL boards. Many former posters have left for greener posting opportunites rather then be bullied by half witted nobodies who can't even accept your right to free speech. Now the text messaging generation and older media users are using other services rather than be hounded by people who just like to pretend their your superiors.
