I do know if I was attacked I would want to be able to respond, because the post will still be seen by some. Unless CCC has found a way to remove a post before anyone has read it. In this case Ed was attacked not only personaly, but his companys ethics were also attacked. Ed has no way of knowing who or how many people may have read this post. If CCC just deletes the post, then Ed or someone else may not have known they were attacked. The attack and charges will then stand unchallenged in the minds of the people who read the post. Thats why I think Ed did the right thing in this case. Now for the person attacking, I agree with Bob. Kick them out, if thats is the judgement CCC comes to.
