Thread Name: BS: Guest Postings
Subject: RE: BS: Guest Postings
The answer to nasty guest postings was and is very simple. There is no need to ask a higher power to remove offending BS comments from a section of our forum set aside for BS.

You use the edit button that we are all blessed with and simply not open the thread or post or indeed anything in the BS section. If you do see offending comments anywhere on our forum. you can just ingore them and not open the thread again. Too simple?

The answer is simply that as comments that may offend you may not offend others and asking for threads to be closed - edited or moved only deprives others with different tastes - of the opportunity to respond.

There has always been plenty of room for all our tastes on our forum. Our inability to tolerate our different tastes and fed by the current mania with asking for other's postings to be judged or deleted - is resulting in a situation where there will be only one taste to comform to.

Our forum is and in my opinion should be just a mirror reflecting back what we all contribute. I suggest that it would be better if we all contributed on equal terms.
