Although I am usually in agreement with you Coach on this subject I am not. The power of Agoracom is not to allow all to say absolutely what they wish with no regard for the truth or consequences for deliberate attempts to mislead or ouright lies. On the contrary, the power of Agoracom is that people have some recourse against those who would deliberately seek to harm others, mislead, outright lie or attempt to slander. This raises the bar and roots out the rif raf which so dominates any other boards that I am aware of and delivers a much higher standard of postings unlike Chithouse and Yahoo which are zoos and a waste of space.
I agree that Otto's writings are easy to see through but why would anyone want his idiotic rants to get airtime on a board such as this ECU board with higher standards than many when it was so clearly wrong. He has his own blog site for his non-factual rants and I would suggest that is more space than someone such as Otto deserves.
BTW, freedom to express comes with the responsibility of truth or at least an attempt at truth and none of this was exhibited. No one comes here to read that kind of crap, period, end of story. Many people came to Agoracom to escape that kind of BS. If you like Otto and his type so much invite him to your website to provide weekly BS rants and take Clavis too, neither will be missed here.
