Vigil,

I think it wasn't so much an issue over the topic that was questioned but how it was presented. It started right out with misinformation about the move Pixies went through. The insulting tone of the new comers post set people on edge. Once the ball started rolling it gained momentum and then mob mentality took over. Everyone charged in defending Pixies Place itself, not just the incest issue. I was sorry for the way I responded at first and later apologized.

In a way we should be proud that we have such staunch supporters of our 'family'. We may have gone about it the wrong way but we all meant well. I do not think the thread should have been locked or pulled off the board. I think we need to be careful with our powers of censorship. Or we'll be pulling every thread that stirs up a little controversy and micro-managing the site. We've had threads on free speech and banned books and the censoring of the boards worries me. Its like 'be careful what you say or you to will be pulled'..... in fact I'll be surprised if this isn't.

As a suggestion, could a new section be made for things such as this. Anything political or otherwise controversial could be put in there. Then our sensitive members could avoid having thier feathers ruffled. Call it 'The Hot Spot' or 'Politics 101' or 'How to insult people in 1000 words or less.' LOL -- no scrap the last one. But lets not sweep things under the rug. Gonna end up with a pretty lumpy rug.

ok -- sorry for going on so. I'm done.
