"I liek these POST’S."

Interesting. S&S Associate, are you reading? How about our Anonymous First Amendment crusader? Am I correct in understandeing that you are KIDDING? The only person I recognize on this thread is beloved mamabear, who maintains healthy perspective while still standing her ground. 
At any rate, pace Annoyed, this battle has been fought and lost many times. Kat shared on ELLENWatch that she does try to preview Ellen's posts, but she's taken no actions to exclude them for several years now. (She's actually kind of an ELLENWatcher in her own right, of which I'm quite proud.) I will never respond to people saying Ellen should be banned, nor would I stage any protest if it happened, because it's up to Kat. In the meantime, however, Ellen remains, and her defenders probably don't even need to spend the breath. 
Thanks anyway, freinds...
By the way, on page 2 this weekend Jill is finally back, PTOOEYing and referring to Ellen as "kin." There's also talk of a (real) female firm lawyer getting a (real) clothing budget from her (real) boss. I'll be checking back to see if Ellen or any of her kin chimes in on this very familiar topic. Anne Shirley has warned of pitfall's, but our ladies speak from expearience.

Please, Kat, can’t you filter the Ellen posts? They aren’t funny. Your blog deserves better than his/her/its stupid nonsense.

Lighten up! No one is forcing you to read it.
Personally, I look forward to finding Ellen’s posts and am disappointed if I miss them.
As the Supreme Court said in Cohen v. California, you are always free to avert your eyes.
Keep up the posts, Kat. We love them at S&S.

Hurray for Kat and preserving the First Amendment and the ability to FOOEY!

Say offensive words are printed on someone’s t-shirt and you feel your moral beliefs have been violated. Well, too bad — avert your eyes, the Supreme Court declared in Cohen v. California. Does pornography offend your moral sensibilities? That’s not a good enough reason to be able to ban it, the Seventh Circuit decided in American Booksellers Association v. Hudnut. These rulings make it clear that although minorities have a right to their views, private moral and religious beliefs cannot constrain others’ behavior.
