We've now added unsubstantiated slander to our list of offenses for which we will yank messages and block users, particularly in the case in which such messages cannot be traced to a real person, as we believe that anyone accused by someone else of anything should be able to confront his or her accuser.

With this in mind, we have deleted a message that meets the above criteria.

The Moderators

Just an update on the rules (changing the InfoBonaire to BonaireTalk and eloborating on what recourse we will take for offenders of our non-self-promotion rule):

There are a few basic rules for using the BonaireTalk Newsgroup:

• No blatant self-promotion or advertising.
• We reserve the right to delete postings we find offensive or inappropriate (offenders will be notified - once privately, the second time publicly, the third time their account will be closed).
• We will move discussions to more appropriate topics if we determine it's necessary.
