What those individuals said was pulled before I saw it, or I'd likely be berating them for it while defending their right to be wrong.
I've seen a website with commentary that noted something like "comment collapsed by community" instead of pulling the comment. You could click on the notation and view the offending comment. How difficult would that be to add here?
Not very difficult really and if we were truly a location of free speech as expressed as stupid as what is said then let the oppossing views stand. We can police our own off the forums. I don’t like the stifling of free speech of any sort and those self ascribed “Conservatives” need to check their cards if “offensive” speech they dictate as such is stifled. How were non chritians converted? By listening and convincing the opposing viewpoints that yours are more correct. In this situation we’ve shut that conversation down before it even began. That’s my only point, allow for the free flow of ideas I think the adults can weed it out.
