This site seems to be wide open, which is why I post this stuff here instead of the other forum where it might be somewhat inappropriate.
Yes the other forum(s) seem to operate based on some universal opinion about what is appropriate for an internet message board. It's all very amusing really.
Back in the day there was not so much moderation on the old bulletin boards, I used to access using a 36K dial up modem. Then along came the foul mouths and the trolls, and then moderation became the norm. But that then led to abuse of the admin controls, being used in headstrong individual ways.
"I'm going to delete his post, I'm going to block his account, he will obey my rules, etc.," It's all very asinine IMO.
Yea It's not much of a democracy. Total totalitarianism. Censorship to the extreme and people wonder y we still have governments like that. It starts with the individual. Then goes to groups and finally governments. We all are like that to some degree. We try to get rid of the people we disagree with. But this is a democracy, unless of course we take people in the back yard and beat them up for their opinions.
