Have we forgotten that other board?
If a post is malicious, deliberately false or distorted, antagonizing, part of what appears to be paid garbage or generally full of it, etc., it should be deleted. Otherwise, we may soon have a replica of that other board that I and a lot of others left because of unrelenting and unstoppable nonsense including personal attacks.
Problem is deleting is a judgement call, and I, for one, am quite satisfied that those here who have the authority to pull the plug on these posters have the good sense to be able to separate out the good from the bad.
