I said it was wrong to kill her. That is my opinion. Nothing can change it. No list of "facts" will ever change it.

You are certainly entitled to that opinion, many agree with it, even many on this thread.

I think what we are upset about is the breakdown in civility that was allowed to continue. It seemed that half the posts made, including many of mine, were personal invective, not argument.

In the past when issues became contentious, you always suspended as many people as necessary to restore order.
This time, it seems to me that the pro Terri people were allowed to say absolutely anything about anyone, even advocate armed insurection, with impunity, while the Pro Michael/Legal posters had to be very careful or be 'timed out'.

I'm waiting around to see how things shake out.

Yeah, right. I could have suspended or banned all members of this website too. There's plenty of blame to go around on ALL sides.

Not true. I am pro-Terri, and I was suspended for 4 days without cause. I was targeted for "Freepanasia" by the pro-death squad. They didn't succeed in getting me zotted because they couldn't goad me into breaking any rules. They did manage to keep me from posting just before and just after Terri died. Sometimes it just boils down to a game, and the best players win. Having a moderator on your side who's willing to abuse their power is a real advantage.
