I think you missed something. The "egad, they're WATCHING!" refers not to
some outside party spying on the net, but to YOU, the members of KenWatch.
I wouldn't have written to mention this except that the posting you took
this from was (with that line in context) somewhat amusing. As much as Ken
stands for the far right, Reagan/Falwell/Nazi way, he *can* be amusing
occasionally. Also, below the line you quoted above, was a question (a
pretty innoccuous one, though I don't remember it), which was the substance
of the posting, so you have removed the substance, and left the filler...

Correct me now if I'm wrong. Is the purpose of KenWatch to provide equal
time, and inform netters about this psychopath, or is it only for the purpose
of harrassing and insulting Ken Arndt? Given his track record, I'm all for
*either* of these, but KenWatch *is* advertised as information, rather than
invective. You may not see it, but you're using his tactics, and starting
to sink to his level (though you've got a LOOONG way to go).

By the way, I've been meaning to mention this for a while. I saw a
Donahue-like show at midnight here in Boston a couple of months ago that
featured a Don Black, who claimed to be a Grand Dragon of the Klan. Does
anyone know if that's the same Don Black who made up the Ken Arndt personality?

Amen.  Can we all put aside this gawdawful stuff and talk about something
serious or frivolous?
