I have no problems with free speech and the expression of personal opinion. Granted, I do not have tolerance for rudeness and attacks upon other people and
their personal morals and decisions. I believe that, upon multiple occassions, SilenceNoMore specifically has transcended this. Some of the posts he makes are not what would fall under "constructive criticism" or a personal opinion about a topic. These fall more to the criticizing of a member of team 25 apologizing for some things that happened at PARC, as this member felt the personal responsibility to apologize on behalf of his team.
Just to sum it up, I have absolutely NO problems with free speech, it facilitates the spreading of ideas, but there are some instances where people cross the boundaries.
Now to get back on topic, I think that reputations given by members with strongly negative reps, khssoccer16 and SilenceNoMore are the only ones I've seen, should be monitored. So that at least the reps given out by them be checked to make sure that the reps they give out are just. Because truly, I expect to an extent that those with higher reputations are more respectable and trustworthy, as I would trust Andy Baker, JVN, DJ Fluck, et al to to be fair and responsible.
