Steve,

Dr. Decosta has a paper published on the official MDMN website. In addition, he is not a poster on this board or on iHub. These two facts allow discussion of him, his analysis and his posts on other forums. I have spoken with iHub admin about this and this is their position. If Dr. Decosta feels that he is being libeled, he can take legal action and show that the posts about him on iHub are damaging to his character or his business. No post on iHub can be permanently deleted so if he wanted to pursue legal action, a judge could subpoena iHub and gather all the offending posts. Until something changes with regards to Dr. Decosta's posting or published paper, I'm afraid you will have to endure the repeated posts about his character. You can always use the ignore feature of this website and forever be free of the posts you disagree with. I am no fan of calling people names (although I admit I am not perfect and the occasional jab does slip out) but others may not share my desire to engage in intelligent debate that does not involve ad hominem attacks. If I could ensure the debate was civil at all times, I would but since the posts you are referencing do fall within the iHub TOU, there is precious little I can do. Again, I suggest you use the ignore feature or simply do not engage the offending poster in a debate.

Have a great evening,

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.
