But I have to read this trash, before I know it's trash, so I can't use self control.

I am only stating that spam and harrasment could be removed. I never offered any view on censorship (but Norm likes to throw a red herring into the debates)

I also didn't say real names and real email addresses are required, however an email confirmation to sign-up, which is pretty much the standard now, so someone can be verified to a minimal extent, would prevent most of the abuse, and we could march off to higher ground.

Why don't we have a good upstanding Libertarian throwing in a third viewpoint. Liberals / Conservatives, (anarchists and socialists too?) just don't present enough sides to argue.

If we had a moderator, the message would have been gone as well as the replies, this thread and all the wasted space and time, wouldn't exist. How's that?
