Juries and the admins can hide offensive posts but there is no standard for judging or mechanism for removing unsubstantiated claims. If you want, you can claim, as George Carlin has, that when you die, your soul goes to garage in Buffalo. Within the limits defined by the terms of service you can say or ask what you want.

IMHO, DU is not a reference but a discussion board. The various groups are for those sharing an interest in discussing a certain topic. The forums are mostly generic but exclude some topics.

If you want folks to believe what you say, posting a source, a link to a source or other evidence is standard but it's not a rule.
