A question regarding the forum maintainer's duties.

from Ed Buffaloe (uneye@hotmail.com)
Not too long ago I was accused of censorship for deleting a post, and today I've been accused (in private correspondence) of being the humor police for this forum. I admit to having little tolerance for people who are uncivil and/or ungracious. In the South we learn at an early age to display some manners, else someone is liable to shorten our lives drastically.

My question is this: Would everyone prefer that I take a hands-off approach and let people say whatever they wish? On the one hand, it would be a lot easier for me--I certainly don't need the abuse I receive for trying to keep people civil. On the other hand, I fear that a totally unbridled forum would quickly degenerate into a place where many would not feel welcome or would simply be uninterested in participating.

This is your forum--tell me how you would like it to work.
