This is a discussion forum. Open, clear, direct discussion should be allowed and encouraged and to the best of my knowledge it has been and will continue to be. Staffers have done a thankless job of keeping people decent in the past and I'm sure they will continue to in the future. We are all guests here and we all - myself absolutely included - have a responsibility to follow the rules set forth by the owners of this forum and their designees. Nobody gets banned for following the rules and behaving like an adult. As in all things, we're seeing people who cannot be bothered to personally invest their efforts hassle those who are. Staff is always seeking help and if you believe there is a problem that needs addressing the best way is likely to join staff and help out. Granted, most of us are busy with careers and families and Church groups, but so are most staffers, I assume.
