Joel
a greater level of civility = censorship

What do you think moderators do in a moderated forum, Sam? The
defining feature of a moderator is censorship. If not censorship,
what do you think moderators do?

Do you think they sit around and design posts based on assumption and
then go on to condemn the subjects of the assumption implying
impropriety via innuendo?

One thing for sure is that posters have been sitting around trying to
figure out how to get the point across that they were trying to make
without being censored.

For example, Happy Payne used to write about S.ome P.oor S.oul but
giving us enough clues as to enable us to figure out who that "S.ome
P.oor S.oul" was.

Brian used to write about "The Name that One Dare Not Speak". We knew
who that was too.
