"place your negative bile there."

OUCH!!

"So what you are saying is that even if it is off topic, a public forum MUST accept all who want to post."

i'd say you have no choice, that's correct.

"We know that there are detractors.... we just don't want them screaming in our ears, in our own private party."

you had it right the first time, but you got it wrong the second time. public. not private.

"And is it right to do all you can to disrupt that forum?"

couple things here... (i don't know if you are referring to me personally, but i'll assume that you are.) first of all, i'm not "doing all i can" to disrupt a thread. secondly, the forum is not disrupted until you respond, or engage an individual whose post you disagree with. think about it. either you "wade through it in order to find what I am looking for", or you stop and fire off a lengthy response in which you invite people to leave and call their posts "negative bile".

if you want to complain about disruptions, then you should develop the discipline to ignore what you consider to be an offensive post. because you can't have it the way you want it.

"you can only agree that they are malicious, and mean spirited. Not waiting for someone to say something he disagrees with, but needing to find an "out of context" quote to slam. Name calling, and bullying."

oh get off it already! these are WORDS you're speaking of here! punches aren't being thrown. there's no body count or chalk outlines being drawn on the street. stop it with the melodrama.
