Intolerance / appropriate content for FT

Randy,

Normally I would be vocal about any form of censorship, but in the few days since this tragedy we've seen some ugly things said on these boards. We've seen discrimination, we've seen intolerance, and we've seen a political dialogue which really doesn't belong on Flyertalk.

Rather than "selectively" censor views, I propose that these threads are removed entirely from FT.

I *hope* people acted in the heat of the moment rather than expressed deeply held beliefs, and I hope that by removing these posts now, future regret about what they've posted can be avoided.

We've got a great community, and I'd hate to see people "shunned" for something they've posted here in the passion of the moment. Ours is a strong and close-knit community. We should do everything we can to keep it that way.

Just my two cents. How do other people feel about this?
