OMG. That is so logically specious. Appeal to extremes. Straw Man. Reductio ad Absurdum. I didnt say anything about no holds barred. I'm suggesting that people be allowed to express themselves honestly without fear of punishment or retribution or attack. Of course there are limits and you can't have people going insane.

So why were you all for moderator invention then?.

I did not want Hope's thread shut down. What I thought might be needed is moderator intervention along the lines of giving warnings to those who had, in my view, crossed a line. Not because I am against those people expressing themselves, but because that thread was like a freaking lynching and seemed well and truly out of control. Clear?
