Drawing the Line

Earlier today, I came across a number of comments that expressed harsh and unsympathetic attitudes towards an ordinary fellow Canadian who had concerns about proposed CPP changes and others in similar situations.
I said then that such content jeopardizes the group's existence, at least under my management. I can't be associated with such remarks.
That was followed by more sober posts and I was reassured.
However, just now I came across and quickly deleted a post that suggested physical violence against our Canadian parliament.
I realise that it was just talk, but just the same it crossed a very serious line and jeopardizes us, reclassifies this group and implicates us all by association.
That post had not been reported and had already accumulated four likes in the hour or two it was up before I saw it. That is even more concerning.
People wonder why DS disassociated herself from her Locals site. This is why. Loose cannons.
At this point, I see only these options:
1.) Regard this as a one-off indiscretion, delete it and issue a warning
2.) Delete such content on sight in future and immediately ban the offender(s)
2.) Shut down The Lions or turn over the site to someone else

Here's a response in a letter from Patty Johnstone in Ontario ..
I think she is a little ticked off! She also tells it like it is!
"Hey Jeff, let's get a few things straight!!
1. As a career politician, you have been on the public dole (tit) for FIFTY YEARS.
2. I have been paying CPP & OAS for 48 YEARS (since I was 15 years old. I am now 63). Being a Canadian citizen for over 20 years & paying my taxes, I am eligible at 65 to apply for Old Age Security - OAS (paid for through my taxes).
3. My Canada Pension payments, and those of millions of other Canadians, were safely tucked away in an interest bearing account for decades until you political pukes decided to raid...
