UntoHim,
Your task of achieving some sort of balance here...is certainly not an easy one.
I would point out, though, that by offering people their own "blogs", there may be an invitation to be a little more, shall we say,
candid in one's remarks... Obviously the lines are blurry when it comes to what people expect from communications over the wonderful Internet, but isn't it safe to say that having your own personal running thread, as it were, might be understood to give just a wee bit more license than a running conversation between many posters? Know what I mean?
And even if there was an "offensive post" (or two) outside the blog, I'm not sure that that even changes what I'm saying. Wouldn't it have been possible to just say, Hey, no more blog for you...but go ahead and carry on in the conversations here, just keep it PG-rated, OK?
And hey, maybe you did that. I dunno. Just sayin'.
