Default Elliot, I'm missing the point here

I think that some of you are getting hung up by confusing obnoxious with inappropriate. A poster who is rude and condescending but discussing a vintage card or related issue without undue ad hominem attacks (it is perfectly ok to rail on a dishonest seller or incompetent grader) or obscenity is not necessarily out of line. Some people simply cannot express themselves without their truly $h**ty personalities bleeding through. Personally, since we are all grownups (I think) and can certainly copyedit our posts, I would prefer seeing that these people be booted from the board or placed on probation when they break the decorum (as it is, I simply skip their posts and ignore any strings they create), but I understand not deleting their relevant albeit irritating posts.
