I think if I take the attitude that Adm. has, from time to time, regarding the "good" of the group versus the "good" of the individual - which may not be the same, I conclude there are many reasons to not allow the postings and a few to allow them.
I admit I am more upset by "threats" - especially those that that imply suicide to be the consequences of the content/action/support gotten or NOT gotten from other posters or Adm.
