Norm; I'm not lashing out at you ... but I disagree with your assessment that this is a free speech or "censorship" issue. I look upon it more as a graffiti issue ... and to simply ignore it; as you have suggested, is exactly what is happening in our society today. Do you ignore such graffiti in your schools, or neighborhoods, or do you take steps to erase such garbage?
Debates are healthy ... heated disagreements are healthy.... political free speech is healthy. These alphabet soup posts contribute NOTHING worthwhile to this forum.
I think that a private e-mail warning or two from a message board moderator to the offender(s) before deleting their posts would be helpful to clean up our neighborhood. It seems to work on other message boards.
Just one man's opinion who is not afraid to state it for the record.
