Kathy,
You've obviously hit on a hot topic with all the posts that are here. Although I think moderated forums would make Adland a "cleaner" place to some extent, I don't think it is an easy solution. So many forums are opened each day. If the owner of the forum wants to take responsibility for it, then they should. But if a community member shows such total disregard for another member, this should be addressed. It makes me sick to think that someone in an environment that should be full of professional, respectful adults could be so insensitive as to the death of a loved one. There is no place for that here. Nor is it a place for you to be threatened in any way.
Does everyone have to agree with everything that is said here? Absolutely not. But you can voice your opinion respectfully.
I don't know what the ideal solution is, but I did like a few of the ideas that were posted here. If it hasn't been already, maybe this should be addressed with the Adland staff.
Teri
