In at least a few cases, Phil, I'm going to
dispute you.
What of posts that are ad hominem
and/or blatantly slanderous? What if I make up some
things about you and post them here? Particularly since
messages here don't get automatically deleted, it seems as
though there are at least a few circumstances where Dr.
Levinson should be encouraged to use his
powers.
For those old enough to remember when qb_at_...
was the main method of communication, remember that
there was also a filter in the form of the moderator.
Alt.college.college-bowl had no moderator, and the end results weren't
pretty.
I think that the best solution is to encourage club
moderator's perogative, as it remains now. It's not perfect -
nothing is - but it appears to be the best solution.
