While I agree that some of these posts shouldn't be let through because they are, in fact, abusive, I'm pretty sure Gerv is doing his best to find a compromise between keeping to the participation guidelines and enabling us to engage angry people in discussions. (I just see that Gerv has responded to that effect.)
Having said that, I won't personally be doing much of the engaging, anymore: I don't think responding with a prepared statement is a good way to handle this, and I find writing individual responses to all these posts too taxing to keep it up. I still think it's important, so as Gerv said, please do join in.
