To paraphrase everything that has been written here: As individuals we have the choice to respond or not to any post here. We must use our own moral system to do that and do it in the manner that we see fit. No system should be opposed on us, but we are allowed to raise words of caution if we disagree with actions of others. But they are words, we do not bind each others actions, and we respect each other to do the best they can within in their right to choice.

That aside it is good example of how moral questions in a free and open community, need to be asked, because we need to be reminded of each others differences in approaches now and again. As for the recent threads from freak, this happens so many times here and we deal with it the same way openly and honestly, what more could a community ask for. This entire discussion is open to freak to read even to the point where their was belief a new id was created. I think this type of policing is the best. Mainly because the user in question can gauge the communities collective moral, and either respond to it by changing their questions, or explaining their actions. And yes they may even contact a sympathetic individual in the community away from these discussions. In the end all options and moral systems are addressed and respected.
