as he will never add anything of professional or other value to such a board

Surely a boards value should be based on more than just one contributor. No individual or small group of individuals can claim to have the right to be judge, jury and executioner on all things esl on that board or any other for that matter!

If WW can attract teachers to his site to share genuine experiences both good and bad without censorship then surely it will hold some value. If he just uses the site to bash those who he feels are in the wrong or spread erroneous information then he will have proved himself a hypocrite and I doubt anyone will really want to visit it anyway.
