I am not interested in such diatribes either.

But I find it strange, even disturbing that you would feel competent to 
prevent me from making my own decision regarding any post.

Posts I do not wish to read I trash. Those I wish to read I read.

I have no assurance whatsoever that you would make the same decisions 
for me as I would make for myself.

Therefore I decline the service you offer, however well intended.
