Dinah,
Yo wrote,[...not taking...action doesn't imply endorsement or approval...Administrative action only says that something is in noncompliance...leaving it up only means that no rules have been broken...].
But could it not be possible that one could have the potential, IMO, to think that if something was left up that that could mean that whatever it is could be endorsed by the forum since if leaving it up means that no rule has been broken?
Let us look at a post that is now on the psycho babble board. The poster writes that another poster is a "fruitcake" and an "idiot". I see at this time that it is "left up", if what you mean by that is that no notation of some nature has been posted by the moderator for it. If "leaving it up" means that no rule has been broken, could not there be the potential for someone here to think that it is OK to write that someone is a "fruitcake" and an "idiot"?
