Hey, Bob! Do you believe all the immature nonsense going on? I have been very polite and understanding; I try to maintain a positive outlook and try to do my best to help people solve problems/find work arounds with their gear, look up relevant previous discussions from the archives, etc. I have written privately to two of the verbal "combattants" with what I thought was amazing calmness and understanding.  But it the nastiness seems to have spread to a third person (maybe more).

As I told you I am a believer of free speech and the thought of moderating people's posts really bothers me. And you shouldn't have to edit posts. I don't know what's gotten into people lately. We have never had this BS here!!!!

I also don't like the idea of booting people (except for spammers). If someone wants to leave, that is their choice.

Now that several people are on moderation, part of me wants to just take them off moderation and tell them to "Grow up." (Like I told my kids, I don't care who started it, both of you need to end it!) Yet, as long as its done, part of me wants to just leave it where it is. In any case, it is a waste of everyone's time. You shouldn't have to edit or even approve/reject thses posts.

My advice is just leave things the way they are--no more editing/approval/rejecting and certainly no more kind, understanding private e-mails to the "combattants." Let the posts just pile up no matter if they are inciteful or benign!!!!!!!

To echo what Greg said, thanks for trying to keep on top of it!!
