I don't agree with everything pharmrep says, but I am always interested in hearing it. I am especially interested in reading the discourse between him/her and others. If you have your way, I won't be able to read what I want to read. If you feel "violated" you can solve your problem by not reading his posts, which solution doesn't infringe on others' rights.
Are you speaking literally when you imply that pharmrep is breaking the law? If so, how?
If a poster claimed to be an employee of a drug company, and was very critical of drug company practices, would you allow that poster free speech, or would you censor them also? Is there anybody else you would like to see censored?
If someone were to ask you whom you work for, and what are your qualifications to post here, and what are your biases, etc, would you think those questions were inappropriate? I would. If someone were to attempt to rat you out to your employer or a government agency regulating your employment, would you be bothered? I would.
What about the possibility that that a drug rep posted anonymously without disclosing their employment? I am pretty sure a poster was doing that not long ago. Would you prefer that? If not, why attempt to censor a poster candid enough to disclose his/her biases?
