I know what you're saying, but I suspect it will fall upon deaf ears in the case of almost all of the instigators of rude posts. I think having an ongoing debate with them regarding mutual differences of opinion is very unlikely to be productive, and that's probably what the mischief-makers among them are hoping will happen.
I believe more latitude as regards board censorship is bound to ratchet up personal abuse whenever controversial topics appear. From personal experience, I can say that posting that a recruiter is just so-so when others have rubbished him is more than enough to get abuse in return.
You can ask the board to delete a particular post if you feel it insults you. I suppose whether somebody does so depends on his/her tolerance level. Personally, I'd never do that. But I can appreciate that everyone is different.
All the same, this board has posts that impart very useful information that cannot be found on other forums. I suspect that increased board censorship would diminish the number of posts of that sort. So, I'm content to see the board run the way it is at present.
