The people who were banned at cheryl's weren't banned for speaking their minds or having differing opinions, but for flooding, attacking people, inordinate rudeness and simply for being annoying as hell to every single person on the list. We've all been free to speak our minds there, and many of us have vastly differing opinions. Yet somehow we manage to coexist peacefully and respect one another. My situation, in terms of health and finances is well known to many here at rosity. Yet the very people who most vehemently disagree with me at cheryl's are the same people who step up first to help out when things get really bad for me. I don't think you solve a problem by getting rid of a forum. You solve it by dealing with the people who are disrupting that forum, while the remaining members manage to get along by acting like grown ups and respecting each other. It CAN be done.

Talent is God's gift to you. Using it is your gift to God.
