If we are going to limit what can be in Signature lines... then we have to do the same for BIOS. This has the potential to become a very slippery slope. Any time you allow people to "express" themselves, there will be opportunity to "upset" others. Where do you draw the line? Yes, this is a travel board... but for many of us, it is more. Signatures and Bios tell me much about a person... oftentimes more than their posts. I hate to see those limited.

Were two people "post stalking" another poster? Perhaps. Did the original member have reason to believe their post could anger others? Most Definitely. Who is to blame? Both and neither.

Of course, any member could now move their "signature" to be part of their actual posted message. How would that be impacted?

I will say again that we have to stop changing everything due to the immature actions of one or a few people. Deal with those people... do not punish the masses.
