But from past experience, I feel that there are exceptions: (1) spammers, i.e., blatant advertisers (2) ad hominem attacks on other forum members (3) outright quackery (dangerous medical suggestions or totally false medical information) (4) "street language", e.g., referring to human anatomy, sex, etc. is inappropriate in a Science forum, (5) acting against the interest of the forum, e.g., misrepresentational letters to organizations purporting to be the "voice" of this forum.I have taken appropriate action in all these cases, which has generally been supported by the members here as well as Naked Science Forum administrators.But I think you're right that opposing points of view should generally be tolerated, which is the spirit of a forum.
many thanks for your involvement as a moderator, which I know is not always an easy task!
Question... I find it very difficult to "abstain" for more than 3 days. I get very tense, I find it difficult to focus, and my thoughts become less fluent -- as does my writing. This isn't the same as POIS, I imagine it's somewhat common for people who have gone long periods of time, but it's probably related. It's severe enough that my productivity decreases, even when I am trying my best to focus.I'm wondering if anyone else had trouble with this? I hear about people going weeks, a month, or even months without release. Do you start to feel really agitated after a week?

sorry to cut in like this guys, but I gotta ask if anyone has any blood test data on ACTH levels (Adrenocorticotropic hormone); I think I'm close to a comprehensive theory that can be supported by data.
My last post was on 6/17 and today is the first day I feel good again. My wife approached my to have sex today, we did but in the first time in 21 years of marriage I purposely did not have an orgasm because I did not want to fell like gargage again. POIS sucks!!!
