Then simply point me to the link on this page or website. While it's been many years since I first joined this site I can say with almost certainty that I never saw that "policy statement", at the time of joining. In fact the first time I saw it was when Richard posted that link. My guess is, it never came into existance until after you joined. I have no problem with the policy as it relates to being critical of individuals but to include groups or ideas in that statement is unaccptable. If enforced, that would in effect squelch all debate and differences of opinion which I'm not too sure isn't your real intent. I did not agree with the original posts in this thread, as individuals were named. That however should not preclude posters from speaking in generalities or about groups as a whole.
As to the posting of ones name in order to post derogitory remarks lets remember that one individual when he first moved here would, on at least two occassions, threaten his detractors. To the point he requested two different posters meet him in private so they could straighten out their differences of opinion. This same poster has a habit of resorting to name calling when others take him to task for his "ideas" or opinions. Of course this individual eventually went back and deleted those posts and others so there would be no evidence they existed. That is the problem with that policy as written, it is too vague and leaves too much discreation to the moderators to decide what is or is not acceptable. As I believe Mr. Johnson pointed out the enforcement of that policy has been hypocritical at best.
