Posters on this board who are logged in and take responsiblity for what they have to say, generally do not have their posts deleted for disagreeing with another poster.
Cindy posted a topic the other day about supporting her team no matter what and she was flamed all day, so no one is being protected here.
However when a flaming rather rudely written response is posted by someone who is not logged in and can say whatever they want without others on the board being able to identify who the rant is coming from, I certainly understand the post being removed.
Like em or hate em, the people on this board for the most part at least "virtually" know each other by our logins. If I were to make personal attacks on another user, others would know it was ME that did it and I would have to face the consequenses if what I said was truly out of line.
There have been a lot of GUEST posters in the last couple of days trying to stir up trouble. If you have something to say, Log in and let us know who you are, take ownership of what you have to say. </RANT OFF>
