They are well managed by Mods and those posting. How does that transpire in to the more emotive threads. Some of which rightly or wrongly have requests to post or not to post certain things.
To my mind I think people should be free to post what they wish (so long as no deliberate malicious intent) even though it might be contentious. I have no issue with requests for threads to be censured or advice on what to post given. But it should be up to the respondents to decide if they take that advice and not castigated if they do not.
Being close to the XV230 incident I find it difficult to accept the, XXXX may read this thread so please do not write this or that etc idea. In todays world of instant social media people will write many things many of us would chose not to. It is up to us to either read it or not, and also in a world of free speech, post any retort if you so feel the need.
