Hmmm, this is a very interesting debate.
Whilst I can totally empathise with your contact, Aspinthion, I do have to agree to the various points already expressed.

I agree - with mass propaganda steering our thought patterns, I feel that I can ONLY get an unbiased view from the internet.

Also a very good point.

And, obviously, the police/gov. agencies know of this site, and maybe keep a watchful eye on it for possible leads? Most criminals of this ilk (murderers and rapists) get great satisfaction from boasting about thier crimes.

So true.

Whilst my heart wants to join this crusuade, my head leans toward logic.
It's not fair, it's not nice - but surely they're only satisfying their own kind. We have a choice - we can abstain from such activities, and retain a clear conscience. Banning this site will not bring back those poor souls, nor will it prevent further atrocities - so why let it be a burden?
I feel truly sorry for this chap - but it begs the question: how did he find the site?
