I respectfully disagree that behavior is limited to Off Topic. I also don't believe that an Off Topic section promotes or encourages it.tlchost wrote: I really don't think you will see the area removed....it is there by design to allow unacceptable behavior to be accepted as it agrees with certain agendas.

Yep....and the Off-Topic area offers a home for the impolite bigots.I stand by my observations that it is rampant throughout these forums and people-specific rather than topic-specific.
I am all for this "Freedom on the internet is IMO vital."MonteTwoShots wrote:Nooby what links or citations can be given to deleted posts. By the very nature of a deleted post it cannot be cited.
