Stuart Smith reports: "We set off a firestorm Wednesday (August 17) when we reported that oil is rising once again from BP’s Macondo Well. We were informed by multiple, credible sources over the weekend and into Monday that BP had hired a fleet of shrimp boats to contain a slick sweeping across the old Deepwater Horizon site."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

The gift that keeps on giving. From a corporation that is clearly not proactive or even honest about something that they should be all over.

Apparently, they think denial is a successful business strategy and don't think this hurts their bottom line. The environment? That's just a secondary concern.

BP's non-stop lying about the scope and impact of their spill, probably won't hurt their precious bottom line. That's because the disaster is long off the front pages of the mainstream media. And the American public has the attention span of a tse tse fly. Sadly our society runs on gas, the cheaper the better.

Its coming to the surface again! Better dump more chemicals on it. BP needs to realize that water makes a lousy carpet (for sweeping their mistakes, our carnage, under). So did WE (all our experts and 'Leaders') really think that this problem was 'cleaned up'? I don't think they're that stupid but I know they're that BOUGHT.

Here we go again! BP is denying, the Coast Guard is deflecting, and the oil is fouling our waters. What's next? The coastline flora and fauna? I can't wait for the first picture of a pelican covered in oil.

How much lying and polluting do BP need to do before Americans decide that this corporation is not fit to operate in their country??

In addition to ongoing concerns about the environmental effects of the spill, many residents along the gulf are still suffering financially- particularly in light of claim reimbursements being exhausted and a still struggling economy. FYI, the Distress Helpline is an independently-run crisis hotline that provides support and referrals to anyone in distress: Call 1-800-985-5990 or text 'talkwithus' to 66746. The Helpline runs 24/7 and is staffed by local gulf coast Call Centers.
