Dr. Bob,
I would like to add to my last post a proposed solution to this problem. (Please forgive me if this suggestion has been proposed before but I have not had the time or the fortitude to read all of the posts on this topic.) My idea is that you should be the only person who can post on the boards about a complaint in another person's post. If someone has a problem with something someone else said, then they can send you an e-mail about it personally. You would then judge the merits of the case and get back to the accuser about it personally. None of this would be posted on the board. If you find no merit in the accuser's argument, then you tell him or her so and the poster who has been accused of wrong doing would never have to read the painful accusations. If, on the otherhand, you find merit in the accusation, then you can take appropriate action. Either way, the accuser gets to be heard but the "victim" need not be hurt unnecessarily.
I'm not convinced that this is the best way to go - it's only a suggestion. I do worry that this would stifle a lot of posting unnecessarily. I just wanted to throw this out to you though.
Thanks for listening.
Kara
