I didn't even agree with LL's post entirely. I just believe in a free exchange of ideas.
To be honest, I generally dislike probably half or more of all posts on GC - by that I mean a lot of posters tend to be unnecessarily aggressive, intolerant, even hostile, and I'm not really like that. That being said, so what? A lot of people ARE aggressive, intolerant, and hostile. So I wouldn't have them over for dinner. It doesn't mean their opinions/posts should be disallowed as part of an open discussion.

Exactly. Like you said, moderating should be there for the more vulgar exchanges, as well as to stop any more personal attacks (i.e. BA & Earp stalkerish behaviors). They should not be there to decide who's opinion is more valid than another. That goes for moderator's opinions as well. I don't think that a moderator's opinion should supercede my opinion just because they are a moderator.
