I monitor as much as I can. I know the others do, too. We are on two coasts and are here a lot of different times of the day.

You ask if we need to monitor this 24/7? I don't think so. The overwhelming majority of posts are good discussion. I don't agree with all of them, but so what? We're adults and are personally responsible for what we say.

Again, I frown on personal attacks. Polemics is acceptable. Name-calling and adverse characterizations are something else. I don't think anybody likes to see that, and I think it discourages the responsible posters.

Argument is fine. Quarrel lessens the value of the board.

How did I get to this from your original question?
