I think Argie's Wife brings up a good point but the solution is elusive. I remember a few years back when several people had comments about a local business that had gone downhill. Someone chimed in about how great it was and the negative comments were not true. Shortly afterward Don commented that the post had come from the network of the business mentioned. It is easy for someone with an axe to grind to say something good/bad and those comments are read by many people that may not even be members here, just browsing the forum. I think the equalizer here is the responses of the good members of this forum. They make it a point to contradict or reinforce what may be a totaly onesided opinion.

If I may take exception to Mr. Moyer, and with all due respect for his opinion, I think a certain amount of censorship or restrictions is ok. That is how Don has kept this forum from degerating to posts containing material unsuitable for family consumtion as some other forum have done.
