I agree. Keep it free and open. I think we are all intelligent enough that we don't need to be parented. If someone want to say something, they are responsible for what they say.
As to those who say that this is the only list that allows personal attacks etc., I think you need to go to some other community boards and read. I was recently searching for something and ran across the board for West Windsor/Paulsboro NJ. Those people are just mean and abusive to each other to the point where I was taken back by it (that takes a lot). And this is from an area with expensive houses and top rated schools, but I digress. So, bring on the ethnic slurs and the noise. Delete is a great key.
