[Edward Tinker]

Tom, I'm like Ron, I don't understand where or why it is felt that Ralph is running this forum? It simply comes down to flaming and attacks without facts that moderators and administrators are trying to prevent.

This forum doesn't need that, and it seems to me that this forum can have good discussions on Lugers. I understand that if you feel you get burned that you are angry, but then you can start a forum on Yahoo or your own site and then you can lambast whomever you want and allow others to do so.

Legally you can't condone conduct, Wes is right, that the person that said the statements is the one liable, but also the forum will be drug into the fray, and if you or others want to promote and host a site where this is tolerated, I am sure that John would think that was wonderful and your decision.

And whether others think he is being timid on these matters or not, when it is your site and your liability or he "feels" it is his liability, then you play the game he is trying to run or run and host your own site?
