[Dailydrool] Moderation

[William Bartlett]

I have no problem with the moderation of obviously nasty posts that are clearly intended to chastise and demean other listers. The moderators said in effect when they opened the list that complaints were the reason. I complained once when I was told that a certain subject had essentially been discussed enough and my post was rejected then saw several more come across in short order saying essentially the same thing. I agree with Richard that all opinions and statements should be allowed as long as they are worded in a manner that does not meet the common conception of "fighting words." 

Thanx,

Duff
