I don't think a post being red or green or anywhere in between will cause any more or less conversation. Everybody will still probably read them, not matter what color the box is, and those who wish to respond will do so, again, regardless of the color.
The best thing to come about, to keep this more in line with professionalism and mostly on topic, has been the extension to anonymous posters having their IP address shown as well as the identification of the state in the "Posted by" line of each message. |
