Thread Name: BS: Why?
Subject: RE: BS: Why?
I will comment on the Guest business one more time and then not again. Then I'll put on my flame proof suit.

I don't care what a Guest has to say or how they say it. It is a freedom of the press issue basically. But I do resent highly someone with an opinion that they are only brave enought to promote from the anonymity of no name other than Guest. Pick a Non De Guerre and have at it in a stand up debate so I can call a poster a friend or a jackass without the fear of calling some other person who is using a onesizefitsall handle an undeserved epithet.

Max runs this show and any editorial policy is his to use as he so chooses. I think an editorial policy should be stated at the get go (One probably is, I can't remember that far back) when a new member signs on. Signing on means you agree to civility, courtesy, and common decency defined in the most simple of terms. And you show that you agree to that policy by picking your own name or handle that can't be construed as any other person but the person signing on.

Regards,

Don
