Dinah, You said below in regard to concerns about past posts that may be uncivil or that that might be hurtful as a result of race, religion, and/or culture.
"This site is run, and paid for, by Dr. Bob. I don't always agree with his decisions any more than anyone else does. But it's his site, and he has the ability to make the rules"
It is true that it is his sight, but I would think that the University of Chicago would not want such posts with their name associated with them, even if they are from the past. They can be googled. Dr. Bob has at the end of the page the following:
"Dr. Bob is Robert Hsiung, MD, dr-bob@uchicago.edu"
So, I see this as problematic. I don't know if the University administration or faculty would approve even though "legally" they might not be liable. Still PR is important to a University Medical Center.
This is just my two cents on the topic.
