I think Rich made the right call. Let the “free market” blog police itself. You have every right to voice your opinion on something, but if you don’t like a particular thread or post, don’t read it! How’s that for a novel solution!
If you have something more interesting to post, by all means please do so. Otherwise, take the 12.57 seconds needed to scroll through a thread and determine if it is worthy of your time. If it is not, move on! Why do you need to create more rules and restrictions for everyone else simply because you are too lazy to move on to a new thread or too incompetent to start a new one on your own?
