> > > Come on Dr. Bob, all she was saying was that she did not find much value in the apology that was made, in what I thought was an intelligent expression of feeling and thought. FB seems very reasonable and I'm sure she had good reason to feel the way she did about the apology/apologies that were made.

> I understand. Still, I feel it may be necessary sometimes to be able to express ourselves here regardless of whether or not it is an expression of an opinion that may not be liked by someone. As long as there is no intention to be malicious or put someone down, expressing such opinions in an articulate a reasonable way is a part of everyday constructive and productive conversation. I feel that this is what is missing here on Babble. There simply appears to be too much censorship. When there is too much censorship, there is little opportunity for cohesion and growth. A tightly controlled and overprotected community is a cold, distant, and stagnant community.
