Subject I vote yes they should.....

....based on the right of free expression and speech.

I agree Greenman has a very direct, personal and judgmental style. He doesn't seem to mind stepping on peoples toes nor insulting them nor making accusations that really don't hold much water. Still....he has the right to speak his mind. So do we all.

Contrary to popular belief I tried to hold very true to this when I was monitoring this board. It didn't matter if I was personally offended, if the poster was inconsiderate to a fault or expressed him/her self in a disagreeable manner. I allowed and protected our participants freedom of speech.

Believe me, this isn't all that easy to moderate. It took a certain amount of self discipline and a certain amount of distancing to allow as objective a judgment call as possible. And if I were to make a mistake I tried to err on the side of free expression.

Greenman is not correct in marking you as some sort of enemy. That's preposterous. He still has the right to make that determination and express it however. It is a chat board. What's sad here is that he is flying off the handle (again) and isn't taking the time to actually consider your point of view.

'Nuff Said.
