Chris,
Censorship of grown men and women, who are quite capable of defending themselves, is a slippery slope. I agree that many of the personal attacks are deplorable, BUT it is going to be awfully difficult to decide what goes and what stays, without someone's right to be heard being denied.
The other website forum does not allow much of any descent - this has also become a restriction of legitimate questions and complaints. I do not pretend to know when the line is crossed, but I know it when I read it, this is exactly what makes the slope so slippery.
Bob Kersey’s post was a little strong, but accurate. Dr. Hurst is frequently caustic himself, but he is also particularly capable of defending himself.
Yes, I have also been a personal attack offender as well as a target. My vote is for no censorship at all and I say this despite a recent uncalled for and unsolicited attack against Doug Ross was removed from the forum and at the time I urged you to do it.
