While I agee with some of the opinions expressed above, I am always leery of censorship or "shunning" someone ...... in my opinion, Mr. Furches' course is the correct one ...... simply ignore (don't respond) to those posts you deem inappropriate ..... this is a choice we all have (God Bless America) ....... furthermore, kids say dumb and often hurtful things (as we all did) ...... learning how to participate in civil society is part of growing up ........ we learn largely by making mistakes ......... if we become too draconian in our moderation of the forum, we may rob some of the opportunity to learn ...... I dare say few, like the young man who boasted about his wrestling prowess and made bold predictions about what he would accomplish this past year has learned a lesson ........ since we do have many kids or "adults in trainng" on the board, I say let them say dumb things ( even as adults we are not totally immune to this) and work with them, either by ignoring the comment or giving appropriate feedback ........
