The hardest thing about running a blog is making sure that you don't censor it. If you do, it starts to read like a marketing-driven website, and it loses its raison d'être.

The difficulty is when things cross the line from good-natured, controversial debate, to genuinely offensive content. This is, above all, a place for exchange of ideas and thoughts. Some of those ideas and thoughts are going to be controversial, and tread on topics that some people might not like. Those things, we will always continue to discuss.

However, when the discussion moves from ideas to bashing other people in bad taste, then the reason to keep the discussion going seems a little harder to defend. And, for once, we had to pull some content which was found to be offensive by a few of our readers.

For those who were offended by that content, I apologize. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.
