yeah, well, you and I both know there needs to be some kind of reasoned moderating. I checked around this site a bit and was actually surprized at the content. I didn't really expect to find some well-formulated opinions in here except on the Jazz subject, but this looks like one of the best all-around forums I've seen.
I like to see all the basic points of view represented by someone, and some outliers nobody could believe could ever exist except in a free country.
I think there have been some problems in here that actually need a serious Moderator to take a stand on. If it's consistently enforced it's gonna make an even better forum. Can you imagine NOT having a team of trolls just piling in on every thread with repeated diversions to shut it down??? No personal attacks??? No institutional programmed propaganda attempts to dominate the folks with real opinions????
Freedom of Speech is what has revived radio. I believe it can make a forum like this a popular public resource. With just a few rules to keep it civil.
BTW, I used to be a regular listener on Loveline, and expecially was impressed with how fast he could pick up on someone who was in an abusive relationship, and he could actually talk those callers through their issues and make some good sense all the way.
