If you want to retain your posting priviledges, you need to come back and defend your post.

Stephan may have been confused!

There is a difference between Cable TV and Radio Talk Shows on one hand and a discussion forum on the other.

On the Cable TV or Radio Talk show, shock talk is useful because it generates ratings - the language there is designed to attract ordinary, and perhaps otherwise apathetic, audience - it is a commercial bottom line driven approach!

In a discussion forum, there is no need for such shock talk because the people who are here at the forum are here because they want to express their views and increase their knowledge, understand the issues, be educated and be more informed!

I don’t think suspending or terminating stephan’s posting privileges would be the best solution. That would be like silencing views that may not be mainstream for the forum participants.

just the response that the original post has generated at this forum would be good enough!

Several people have called stephan’s hand on this one.

I have a dark cloaked cat whispering in my ear that the poster might not come back to do so.
I think it’s basement cat.
