Randy -

How do I request that some effort be initiated/undertaken (by Talkboard? other?) to establish some sort of guidelines for moderators to follow in observing the various "fat" threads that frequently pop up on FT? I am not questioning moderator actions, I just am not aware of any guidelines on this topic that moderators can utilize to polize the hatefulness that usually erupts on these threads.

I am all for debate, and recognize that this is a problem for airlines and passengers. Debate on the topic is appropriate and useful. Namecalling and insults are not.

I do not want censorship - I want to ENCOURAGE fruitful debate. Unfortunately it is a fine line. Guidelines would help.

Sincerely,

JHattery
