I should just stay out of this

- but wouldn't that be more like censorship ? I know you can report posts and you have options at your disposal if you choose to use them - but the whole point of a public forum is to allow anyone to post when and where they want ....I know some things DO get out of hand and you're right about that...but if everyone picked and choose what posts they wanted to keep public.... I think that's kind of an intrusion on free speech.....
I guess if you wanted a specific question answered and only from specific people - the PM option is the way to ensure you get specific answers right ? That would save you from reading all the posts you didn't feel were helpful
