Too many folks cannot behave themselves without a moderator constantly enforcing the rules...much like children in an unmonitored playground. Every thread is an opportunity to malign someone for a perceived past sin. A real pity. Adult conversation seems to have lost its appeal for many...as it is intolerable for others...thousands of miles away...to have a differing opinion on anything. We used to celebrate differences and listen to other's positions. Now many are more concerned with silencing others with views that do not parallel theirs vice "expressing" their own.

We don't need monitors, we need people to act like adults who believe in freedom of expression and can interact with others without a tirade of expletives or personal attacks.
