what constitutes "member bashing" Options

[innovation]

here's something that everyone loves: controversy. in your opinion, what is member bashing? when does one cross the line between expressing an opinion and bashing a member? or do you believe that any verbal expression should be allowed in the forums? just thinking, wondering.

edit: also, i'd like you to be honest: do you enjoy cb drama? do you believe that without drama, cb would be uninteresting? do you think that free posting and conflict makes it a better place?

I'd define it as expressing hate toward another member and defaming his/her character. I don't think it should be allowed on the fourms. You might want to bash someone on the fourm but would you like it if the role was reversed? We do have to be mature but you can't forget the golden rule either. You've got to think about it from both ends. Since the community should be welcoming and friendly, member bashing on fourms would start a whole new generation of plague. If you have something against someone on here, take it up privately. Don't let anyone in CB get caught up in it. It could turn nasty..
