Terry Goodkind post delete

The post discussing Terry Goodkind has been deleted. The post degenerated into name calling, which we have zero tolerance for. Your welcome to discuss opinions about a series, but when you start flaming other members you can count on it being deleted. Argue all you want but argue your position and don't insult other members.

I was wondering how long it would take. I honestly think this forum is a little under-moderated, and that particular thread should have been closed down a long time ago, when it could have been locked without being deleted.

I know it's a bit hard to draw the line, and it does create a lot of censorship debates, but the rules about insulting other forum members were breached early in that thread, and the insults escalated until it was just out of control at the end (and I was an offender).

But on the other hand the free-form nature of the forum is also encouraging. I suppose it really is hard to draw that line.

I suppose that's what the mentor program is aiming to solve. I grew weary of the Terry Goodkind thread myself. I stopped visiting it eventually...

lol, I've learned my lesson. I should have left that thread while I was still unscathed. As it was, I just had to get in my two cents . . .
