"...However, specific guidleines should be published as to what will and will not be tolerated. Also, by 'verbal attcks towards any individual will ... not be tolerated', I assume you mean attacks on an individual's character (+ethnicity, sexualtity, etc)? Clearly, if someone posts information that is false, or incorrect, I should be entitled to correct it. They may perceive my action as an attack on them. Once again, this is a grey area, but one in which some policy would be welcome..."

Again policy, guidelines!


"...If multiple aliases are not permitted, there should not be exceptions. I think it is clear that even use of the 'comedy' aliases has caused resentment among those being attcked for using them for more sinister purposes..."

Comedy, like beauty, is in the eye of the beholder! While I think I have a pretty decent sense of humor, I've been somewhat astounded at some FT'ers in the past having claimed that they used "harmless" handles for the purpose of satire or parody! I saw in them attempts to seemingly inflict pain and suffering! Perhaps I am/was the myopic one!

...Once again, my only problem is with the fair and consistent enforcement. Does webflyer have the resources or the desire to police this board?...

Absolutely! Fair and consistent

Excellent points, James! Thanks!
