As I have already made clear, Andy-kins, as long as it doesn't go against anything clearly laid out in our guidelines, YES.

Now you have made that clear but you didn't before as nosey has implied that total free speech is wanted.
I'm OK with free speech so long as its tempered with common sense and I'll always make that very clear.
There's nowhere in our guidelines that says we support total and utter free speech.
We also do not support threatening people with legal action and using our forum as a means of communicating that and trying to implicate the whole group in such silly behaviour.
This is true enough, which is where moderation would normally kick in, I guess. I see what you're saying completely in that regard. Should something like that arise, it really is all of our responsibilities to flag it with admin, and then they in turn cannot be accused of acting like dictators by taking action (although they probably would be by some), as it is something that members have complained about.
Long as it's all out in the open like this thread, I don't see an issue. That's how I see it anyway. This is OUR forum, after all.
I believe I made it clear in a previous post Andy re as long as guidelines are adhered to, but I can't be bothered to dig it out. I was more so agreeing with nosey that I am also nosey, and would like to get all up in people's bidness whenever I can. I also think people should not be afraid of posting about certain issues. If there is a problem, we can address it like adults as we have successfully managed to do so far here, imo.
