toxicity that does the trick. Look at religion.....ANY
religion.....for a case in point.


....most of the daily fishing chatter has migrated over to any one
of a zillion moderated "forums" where toxic posts (perhaps some
sadistic torturing Mike Xyz, by exploiting personal foibles and
weaknesses) immediately get deleted.


This provides a veneer of civility. People learn that toxic posts
get deleted, so they don't make them in the first place. That
doesn't mean they are, in general, civil. Given access to a place
like ROFF, they'll quickly revert to Lord of the Flies behavior.
The veneer of civility is, however, better than the alternative.
No?


No!


I state my case again, if your Socialist, censorship "forums" are so
much better than Usenet, why the hell are you still posting here?


That's right....I forgot, you have migrated over to any one of a
zillion moderated "forums" where toxic posts (i.e. postings that
don't follow party ideology...I mean forum standards) immediately get
deleted.


The veneer of civility (censorship)is, however, better than the
alternative (free speech). No?
