That way nothing like what has happened can happen again. When a discussion degrades, you can take away people's posting privaledges instead of having to delete relevant posts and delay the discussion.

Jack, I'm starting to be an even more concerned viewer. Why won't you let this post through? It is not an attack on anyone. It just states my views about this bickering. Are you picking sides here? I'm not accussing you, but I'm wondering why you let Hack post and attack Teacherman, but you won't let this post through. Everyone wants to get on Teacherman and Major Dan for asking tough questions and attacking people when they get attacked. I'm not siding with anybody. But you have to realize that it takes more that one person to have an arguement. If some of you don't want to get into a shouting match, then don't respond. If you do respond, then your are just as guilty. And that is what this post is about. Here is the original post that I've tried to post three times now:

By, the way. That post was made to stop everyone in general, INCLUDING YOU HANK, who now insists on continuing to insult Teacherman. If you must know, I really wrote this in response to Bob, who felt the need to blame a technical problem on Teacherman. Like he hacked into the system and deleted all the posts. I'm not on any side here. I want the name calling to stop now.
