I am sorry you feel that way, Diana. You see that is the
very essence of democracy, that we can all speak our minds,
even if you disagree with what some of us say. What you are
suggesting would be
censorship and that is un-democratic.

Can you tell me (on the board or directly) why you think
that those who disagree with you should be
"deleted from the board"? What benefit would you (or
anybody else for that matter) have by being exposed to only
your own opinions? And who would be trusted with the job of
determining who should be allowed on the list and who
shouldn't?

I wish you wouldn't let expression of opinion scare you,
even if it gets heated. It makes us aware of different
viewpoints, makes us think and form our own opinions.
There's nothing wrong with discussion, Diana.............
and thanks for your contribution! LOL

Cheer up!
