> JaneI agree with your opinions about the quotes. The quotes are viscerally upsetting to me, but I don't really understand how to draw a line here. I personally don't like signatures with any type of message, even inspirational quotes that are non-denominational in nature are often offensive to me.
I don't think that we are in any position to analyze with any accuracy Sal's motivation so I believe that should be left out of the discussion. I also think a discussion of how much quoting from publications is acceptable should be a topic of another thread. Although it may be worth exploring, it's a completely different subject and bound together it comes across as Sal bashing. Again.
I really don't like seeing this board become more and more censored, but disallowing this quotation thing is absolutely acceptable to me. Maybe this is a case where the rule is made and Dr. Bob makes the judgment call.
