I am very disappointed to see that you are resorting to this. I am of the opinion that VPW's reputation can only be ruined by their own actions. I don't think anyone would form an opinion about VPW solely upon Jason's tirade. If you recall Jason was not the only person with negative remarks about VPW, there were others. Also, there have been disparaging remarks made about Sarafan (spelling?), Kanter and others. You didn't feel the need to remove those posts or resort to a password system. I most definately agree with the foul and obscene language not being needed, but I have also read several posts of a positive nature that contained foul language. Could you not filter all posts for certain keywords? There is software which blocks or removes such words from e-mails and documents. Could you possibly require the password only to post and leave reading unrestriced? As others have stated, I too enjoy hitting the link button and reading the latest posts, having to input an ID and password would not kill me but would certainly be a hassle. In closing, in the past I haven't always agreed with the majority, I have to wonder would I be allowed access?
