Yes, all this is true, but as a member since the 1990s, things have a way of
working themselves out, with Scott having to jump in only a handful of times.
People kind of police themselves and/or things usually die out on their own.
And in my view, there have been way more horrific fights over genuine scams
that have been battled out than this. I confess that watching the occasional
"verbal" fracas break out sometimes reveals character and temperamental
thresholds that were not meant to be seen. As a news vulture, we love this;
this is why "disgruntled employees" and "disgruntled customers" are the source
of most stories. So long as no one gets physically hurt - nor is threatened
with physical harm in public or private - (the latter which HAS occurred in the
past) - I'm indifferent. -d.

Hi Franc
thanks for your comment. I certainly agree with you - censorship is not a good
thing. However, surely we can have some basic rules where by if you make posts
personally attacking others using the 'F' and any other words like it then they
should not be used. On the topic of private messages being published then that
I think is a point in time where an administrator should step in and say a rule
of the forum has been broken. Otherwise the word'private' has no meaning and
the forum becomes like the wild west and anybody can abuse anyone without
consequence. Belonging to a forum that has that potential is scary.

Subject: Re: [MOPO] current conversation on shipping at Heritage Ben, while I
don't disagree with your sentiment, I'm also not in favor of censorship in
connection with this board. I'm also not in favor of people who troll the board
with never a nice thing to say about anything, looking to start an argument.
That's my opinion. Franc

Hi to you all.. I have been watching this conversation slowly degenerate over
the past few days. I am not sure what others think but, personally I would
appreciate it if those that feel it necessary to carry on with a slanging match
and start using inappropriate language that all of us have to read , stop doing
so. I belong to other forums in other industries and we have a ruling were we
professionally respect each other and are forbidden to publically abuse one
another regardless if we agree or disagree with a comment. If we do not keep to
this ruling then the administrator of the forum boots us off. There are simply
better ways of getting your point of view across. If you feel you must get
down to this level then do it privately to the person intended. Scott, what
about stepping in here ? If not, then I feel Mopo has lost its way and will
lose its members if this is the standard that is allowed to keep going forward.
