Reply #78: You make a good point

[Debs]

AND, I think those who post CTs ought to be able to bring some good arguments and FACTS to the table. On the other hand PROOF might be to high a threshold to ask for. I mean can we PROVE that Kennedy was killed by someone other than Lee Harvey Oswald? Yet how many people here believe that to be true.

Another good point is that the right not only can cherry pick posts, they do and relish doing so, we have seen that. Should we allow that to dampen a vigorous debate and spit balling to bring fresh ideas to the table, do we want to in any way squelch the sort of boisterous give and take that can really stimulate creative expressions even when some of us think they are a bit out there. This seems to me another of those questions that doesn't have a hard and fast rule to be the best guide, rather a walking the razors edge, case by case judgment. I for one wouldn't be offended if one of my CT posts (though I don't often make them) were deleted for the reasons stated.
