I am not a fan of mods removing posts that may exhibit boorishness. There have been too many occasions of mods removing posts believed to be in poor taste, mean-spirited, or too harsh for our sensibilities.
This is not advocating for ‘everything goes’ because we do want to foster an environment conducive to productive discussions. However, the mods should show a bit of self-restraint.
For example, if a member’s comment is gleeful that a public official has suffered a heart-attack, while churlish, the comment should not be removed. We need record of such behavior to be public instead of being sanitized.
