@argo: I know you didn't ask me, but I'm libertarian.

@everyone

well, the problem here is always the same, people say they are offended by behaviour, but what they are really offended by is IDEAS.

I sometimes stray from talking about ideas...but if I'm really, really careful, I can talk about nothing but ideas, but people remain just as offended, get just as angry, and make just as many calls for censorship.

The solution to the problem, will be when Amiga.org realizes moderation is not the solution, and is very clear in telling the users, that there are heavily moderated sites already available for their use, and that this board does tolerate ideas, and isn't going to be pollyannish and just plain silly about trying to clamp down on discussions.

That is my opinion....because let me tell you, a PERFECT censor is never going to be able to keep people from getting offended...the problem lays with the person whose skin is so thin that they can't stop being offended.

At least consider, that is part of the problem...not just on the part of those with strong opinions.
