Translation:

If I like the poster or agree with his/her argument. I will accept any level of discourse. If however I don't, I will turn them into SI Bob.

LOL! Surely you do not mean to seriously compare the destructive wit of the Court of the Sun King with the crudity of the hockey threads! I don't think its an apt comparison. Who decides when things "get out of hand" and who decides who is to "break things up"? I see a difference between discourse on the investment threads and discourse on these coffee shop threads. Anything seems game to me on these coffee shop threads as they deal in opinion for the most part, the expression of which should be free and unfettered. I'm also now not sure why I should bind myself to refrain from what you consider "nasty" posts if the prohibition is not equally applied across the board. May have to rethink my position. JLA
