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,

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?

HH.
