Hi yall, guppy chiming in.
I try to ignore board wars and such as I think they are silly..., but I do ocassionally delete posts or censor profanity.
I don't know if everyone realizes this but many of our veiwers are quite young, and I for one want their intro into fish keeping to be a pleasant one, not a lesson in cursing, bigotry, flaming, etc.
In the past I have edited sexually explicit prose, direct and profane name calling, and actionable libel, even a spate of hardcore porn. The last is against federal law as it constitutes distribution of pornography to minors.
I happen to like this site, I don't particularily care what is said about it on other sites and don't badmouth them, if for no other reason than it would be rude.
The anonimity of sites such as this one tends to encourage discourtesy and cowardly personal attacks on others. It is an unfortunate trend.
I thank each of you who takes the time to remember that courtesy and individual respect are important.
I will however continue to edit or delete posts that get to far away from the ideal.
Thanks for your time,
Guppy
