I believe that I have already fully answered all of your questions
and concerns (my answers are appended below) in my previous
posts and that you are asking the same questions again.
My only regurgitation is to repeat that negative personal posts (as
perceived by me) aren't allowed on vpFREE but they can be posted
and discussed on FREEvpFREE.
That's the rule, and it will be enforced.

Sorry, but you still haven't given any example/s from the original post
of any negative comments/attacks. Everything that I read was a factual
representation of information from Bobs' own book.
The idea behind the post was to refute Bobs' claim that penalty cards
are necessary to be successful at VP. Showing examples of other
approaches that the author has admitted using to increase his edge is
clearly on topic and very important information for anyone reading his
column and deciding whether to put the effort into penalty card
memorization.
I realize the post did not portray Bob in a very good manner. Had the
information that was provided been hearsay (ie. unreferenced material)
as was the case with Bobs' attack on Dan in his column, then you would
have acted properly. That was not the case.
It seems to me you need to add "nothing negative, including facts
already in the public domain, may be quoted on VPFREE even if they are
important to the discussion at hand".

Yesterday I deleted a post on vpFREE and reposted it on FREEvpFREE.
Although the post was objective in nature and politely presented, it was
IMO a negative personal post. As such, it was appropriate for posting and
discussing on FREEvpFREE, but not on vpFREE.
Negative personal posts aren't tolerated on vpFREE because they usually
aren't necessary when discussing an issue, have very little to do with our
primary reason for being, and they practically always result in a disruptive
environment that complicates and darkens my day.
FREEvpFREE is appropriate for any negative personal posts and is
available for extended discussions of off-topic or disruptive subjects. In an
effort to encourage greater use of FREEvpFREE, I'm going to start posting
weekly listings of active FREEvpFREE threads on vpFREE.

1. Negative personal comments (or personal attacks) aren't tolerated
on vpFREE.
2. Negative personal comments are permitted and appropriate on
FREEvpFREE.
2. Personal attacks can be accurate, deserved, truthful, politely
phrased etc.. They're still personal attacks.
3. The guilty post was accurate, deserved (perhaps) , truthful, politely
phrased etc.. It was also a personal attack, as well as an open
invitation to discuss an individual's ethics (negatively). Such a duscussion
is forbidden on vpFREE, but appropriate on FREEvpFREE.
4. The thread wasn't terminated on vpFREE. Anyone is welcome to
continue the discussion, if they do so in accordance with the rules.
5. Procedures have been initiated to give FREEvpFREE threads more
exposure.
