"When it's overgeneralizations about things, my concern isn't that people might be upset, but that people might make decisions based on what's posted"
Well now this is a very very sticky wicket in my opinion.
I've always felt as though the intentions of babble are very clear - to support and educate.
However, there is an old saying "that he who yells the loudest is usually the one everyone believes is right".
To this, I would say that "Caveat Emptor" is posted very clearly on the top of the every forum.
It maybe well within Babble's reach to control the way something is said on babble, but I think it is well out of babble's reach to control what people do with what is said.
Just my two cents.
Seldom.
