[QUOTE="TheTechGuy, post: 458260, member: 2702"] This site simultaneously facilitates discussion of a team with amateur athletes and provides anonymity to members. During the delicate process of balancing open discussion and censorship of "personal attacks," please remember that your members enjoy anonymity while the players receive no such benefit. Moreover, anonymity for members provides an inherent defense to ad hominem attacks, which often provide context to an individuals perception and can be useful in contextualizing debate. The main service your site provides is discussion of Georgia Tech athletics, which undoubtedly necessitates discussion of individual players. Banning all ad hominem attacks on anonymous members, who are free to openly denigrate amateur athletes by name, simultaneously places the benefit of discussion and context with the anonymous member making the assertion while preventing other members from questioning the source. Put more simply, the site allows anonymous members to question the abilities of amateur athletes while preventing anonymous members from questioning the abilities of other anonymous members. Based on your response, it seems that this site values its anonymous members over the amateur athletes that this site receives credentialed access to for press coverage. I look forward to reading the result of the moderator discussion. [/QUOTE]
