And how would that end up being different than a candidate/board member
being able to talk about someone?  As soon as you give someone a voice,
whether it be physical or virtual, you have to be prepared for what they
may say.

If it doesn¹t deter from anything, or cause serious problems with
anything, then who cares?  If you don¹t want it to occur, then don¹t give
them a voice.  In which case we¹ll all vote in the dark pretending to be
clueful about who the people are or what they stand for.  (e.g. Not
helpful either)

I have no problem letting people say whatever is on their mind.  Just give
them a set timeframe in which to do it so that worst case scenario, I know
how long I have to tune out for.

Keep It Simple Š
