At Opinion250 we have continually said that we respect free speech. Free speech is just that, your ability to stand before your accuser. It is the system that has been in place in this country since its beginning.
The problem only comes when the accuser is able to avoid that situation by having the benefit of not having to identify themselves. We at 250 face that very problem every day. We know there are posters who are taking the liberty to say something derogatory about their competition, their employer and even in some cases about their family. No matter how you view it, it isn’t right.
Commenting on Opinion250 is a privilege, not some God given right. There are 6,267 people registered to make comments on Opionion250. We have cut the privileges of 32, and perhaps should have in more cases.
With that in mind we ask for your comments before we make changes.
Here are the questions we pose to you:
(1) Should we require a phone number address and proper name before allowing comments?
(2) Should Opinion250 , pre approve the comments?
(3) Should comments be restricted to one comment per story?
(4) Should those people who abuse the comments section be identified ?
These are just some of the things that we at 250 are looking at as a means to attempt to clean up the kind of problem we face with increasing regularity.
Feel free to make your thoughts known.

This would help stop the childish argueing.
