Does the debating get heated at times ? Yes.
Are there instances where the name calling and fighting gets out of hand ? Yes.
Speaking for myself, the name calling and fighting is really no big deal. Doesn't really bother me. I understand that other, perhaps most, posters don't feel the same way.
If a poster is constantly fighting with and cursing and disrespecting other members of the forum, I can understand the natural reaction to suspend and/or eventually ban the guilty poster(s).
That being said, I don't want to see Philly or anyone else given a time out or banned.
We're all adults. If a poster gets under your skin or offends you, just don't read him.
Guess what I'm trying to say is I value the freedom of expression this forum offers more than I'm offended by people who might get out of line, even if they frequently go too far with the name calling, fighting, etc.
I can also understand giving a poster a warning to 'cool it' and taking action if the warnings aren't heeded, but for the most part I think the forum is fine as is.
Thanks for all you do, Bob.
