I completely agree with MMMarcia...unfortunately, inherent in the unrestricted public access of the Internet is the certain fact that fools, crazies, trouble-makers, and the mentally ill, will attempt to monopolize good resources for their own limited desires. Please continue to exert whatever controls and restraints you wish to keep this a nice place, up to and including permanently blocking troublesome or obnoxious people. Without rules and principles, boards quickly degenerate into a morass of the immature trying out "new" swear words or using the board as their own personal soapbox, or spammers who think its a great place to freely post their (get rich quick) ads.
I would like to encourage you and Elaine to keep up the good work and to follow your principles. Since YOU created and maintain the board and the site, YOU have the right to make rules and enforce them. In short, you shouldn't take any crap from anybody who doesn't like the site or the way you run it... and if someone is critical and offensive, I don't think you should even use your valuable time to respond!
