I personally don't like to see any post removed and would rather rebut anything that is false or misleading. That is why, as a hub leader I always read the board. I think negative sentiment along with over exuberence are both important for us to learn how human emotions can play a big role in bad decisions. I agree with what you are saying Lunch and IMHO on a board like ours with many hub leaders we should all have the right to remove groundless bashing as the post is still available for other leaders to read and decide whether it should be reposted. I have seen very few post on this blog that I have a problem with, including the ones that use creative inference to profanity. As long as that profanity is not directed at other members.
