Hi Sue -

Good question. I have allowed their ranting, abuse and mutual back-slapping on here as a) it is the best way to let people see what they are really made of; and b) as stated on the Ashton Community Forum page, the website is maintained in the same spirit of free speech which led to the formation of the Forum.

I only remove postings when they contain personal attacks or profanity, and have only rarely had occasion to do so.
