It does not seem fair to me to say that a position statement, or in this case a series of position questions, i.e. "How can you....." is OK, but responses to those questions are not. If we're going to have censorship then censor the thread, leave the title, and replace post #1 with what has now become post #2 written in the attention grabbing red bold text and delete all other posts. Then lock the thread, declaring the topic disallowed. And for the record, I'm not saying that Whip was wrong to post his questions & feelings, but I also don't see the need for the topic to be debated here. Just my $0.02.
