Personally, I support Tom's decision to remove the name of the establishment. And I don't mean to stir up a censorship controversy and I do not to mean to cast doubt on their story. These are serious charges to could seriously ruin a business's reputation. And while Tom's goal with this board it to provide a forum for passing information and happenings in the area, he is aware of the responsibility of accuracy. And personally I feel he must steer the board away from libelous statement made from board participants. Think about what we like about this board and why it is become so popular. It fair, semi accurate, helpful, lets us feel part of the community and is not filled with flaming. So by removing the business name, it helps maintain that(IMHO). But at the same time the original message (minus the name) does serve as a good warning to all of us about being cautious. As Tom said, "persons who wish to know the name of the establishment, write to the email address" provided. Kirby
