Patch Blogging - Responsibilities and Expectations.

For those of us that care to read, post and interact in Patch Blogs - there comes a certain responsibility. I, as well as many others, have posted controversial topics of interest and welcomed feedback from everyone - all in the interest of interacting with professional adult dialogue.  I only asked the posts be respectful and within Patch Terms Of Service (TOS)- and for the overwhelming majority of feedback on my prior posts - it was just that - respectful.
Never have I deleted posts that countered my personal opinion. THAT was the purpose - to get ALL opinions and have respectful dialogue.
Yet - I have had to delete a certain poster from interacting because there is a definite agenda and has personal comments that are distasteful.
The premise is simple - if the topic doesn't interest you - move on and don't participate. 
If you have an interest on the topic - feel free to engage in the conversation.
Stay respectfully and on topic, and the comment will stay - especially if you have an adverse opinion. That's half the purpose - to interact with different opinions - so we can ALL interact with original opinions.
