In the last two days I have instituted full comment moderation for two people who make frequent contributions to the advancement of the our knowledge about the shroud. In each case it is because they frequently resorted to bullying and insulting personal attacks. It has nothing to do with their opinions about the shroud.
Many of us resort to insults now and then. These two individuals did so excessively and repeatedly.
That does not mean that these two people have been removed from this blog. It means that each time they offer a comment, I must read it first. If I find it acceptable, I will let it appear. Time permitting, I may edit the comment to make it acceptable if it contains important information. I don’t want to make that decision, so most likely I will simply delete the comment if it seems unacceptable.
well done! Thos who wish to exercise their assumed rights of free speech by insulting those they disagree with can do so to their heart’s content on Facebook and Twitter. The subject of the blog is the “Shroud of Turin” not personalities we may not like!
The same apply for you…
Last reply to Daveb (I promise): And what about those who constantly tells other bloggers what to say and what not to say?
Note for Dan: I really believe this is a legitimate question that shouldn’t be removed…
Thank you Dan. Now, can we start again exchanging opinions and debating ideas about the Shroud? I promise to do my best to cool myself before pushing the “Post comment” button. And it will be alot easier for me if no one tells me what to say and what not to say… As I always say: If you don’t like my opinion or comment, pass-it by. This is as simple as that.
Amen !
Good, Dan. There’s no need for personal attacks.
