:Help me here.
Will do.

:I have been criticized over and over for some of the postings
What about the mass deletions? You've been criticized for that but it doesn't seem to bother you.

:and if you read some of the ones I deleted you would understand.
Maybe, but I know for a fact you've deleted a lot of messages that were benign as well, and that is likely the cause of your troubles.

:They have to go.
I disagree. You can't open a board a free expression and hope everyone will only have opinions that satisfy the ignorant masses. Consider Copernicus trying to convince everyone about his heliocentric model of the solar system. They all thought he was an idiot and wanted him blacklisted from the supposed “legitimate world of science.” As it turns out, thanks to one Mr. Galileo, he was right. While the “bad people” that post here are by no means scientists or philosophers, they do have intelligent and interesting opinions (well except for the Tiny Salmon Song, but people need to laugh at the absurd) many times and people like Stinky had some really great things to say.

:Some people just try to ruin things
True. Some people just like to ruin anything associated with Quesnel, for shame.

:and if their postings stayed I think I would just shut down the forum.
That is your choice I suppose, but it would be the easy way out. I disagree with your censoring policies, but I admire your will to fight back.

:Give me your email address and I will send you some of them and you tell me what you would do.
I can tell you right now what to do. Delete anything with swearing, multiple postings and anything with unusually vicious insults (e.g. "You jerk-off," "You prick" or “You cock gobbler”). But terms like “stupid” and “idiot” should be allowed because, while they are insults at times, they are also descriptive terms for people like Islander. That guy is really stupid.

AND LEAVE THE TINY SALMON SONG FOR CHRIST SAKE!
