Where's Al Sharpton?
I am a proponent of free speech, so anytime I see something that smacks of censorship it disturbs me.
That being said, this site is private property and we arent paying any money to use it, so any decisions regarding forum rules ought to be solely up to Cheryl. Her house, her rules.
Like everybody else, I have in the past been goaded in to responding to trolls. I havent done it recently though. The best way to get rid of trolls is to simply ignore them. They feed off of attention, so if it isnt given to them they will move on.
I do feel that it should take more than 2 members complaining to brand someone as a "troll," particularly if they are a long-term member with lots of posts, like Bubblehead. I know that my posts can piss enough people off to get me labeled as a troll, and I would really prefer to not be labeled as such. At the very least, I think it should take 6 or even 8 complaints before someone gets a troll label. Just my humble opinion, but I will respect and comply with the rules here whether I agree with them or not.
You or Bubblehead will never get labeled as trolls, it just wouldn't happen. My word. Even tho I don't like to speak for the others, in this case I'm sure I do.I am a proponent of free speech, so anytime I see something that smacks of censorship it disturbs me.
