I do support a lot of your points of view but re founding fathers - you say this and that about them, while app 50% of them were slave owners and they did not believe or acknowledged any women rights. They were no saints by any means.

Thank God for freedom of speech in the USA. People in many countries don't have that basic right, even in the business world. On internet forums it means putting on your big girl panties and realizing that you can't force your own wishes of a utopian forum on others....you'll end up being called the forum asshole or much, much worse.

If it was no holds barred on a forum such as as this one, Obesity Help would not retain records of all postings, which is done in the event that they are subpoenaed and the postings used as evidence. Someone may feel the right to say something, someone else has the right to take them to court, it's the American way. And then there are the threats, those are not treated as a right to speech either.

Exactly what is your point by repeatedly making this statement that OH keeps a record of your postings? Every website you are on keeps a record of your postings. Facebook, Obesityhelp, Photobucket, Goodreads, etc.
