Joe, i think that the criticism is a red-herring.

Mudcat is wide open and free-ranging with all kinds of ideas. It's real democracy.

I think that personal attacks that are abusive and do not serve the public interest could be deleted. Someone has to make that decision and from what I've read, the right decision has been made because Mudcat is one of the most interesting and informative reads on the net. It's also one of the most tolerant.
