I think voices even the majority of ET readers disagree with should nevertheless be welcome here.  And while some people have the ability to delete diaries and comments, it should only be done in exceptional circumstances. I don't think anyone has the right to delete a diary solely because they are in disagreement with it.

It is very important that ET remains a place where dialogue and debate can flourish and remain within the bounds of common courtesy.  I happen to agree with Afew's position, but do not understnd the purpose of personal attacks.

I can't blame you for wanting to leave.

Hopefully there will remain a place here for you if you decide to return.

We never delete diaries because we disagree with it, only in circumstances of gross offensiveness or gross copyright infringement or something like that.

Right.  Which is what I said.

No, you said no-one had the right to. I said we don't.
