Look at my previous reply on the subject, but I'm hoping tons of really smart people can think of a solution that is not so binary as: moderation=="list nazi moderates all dissenting opinion away" OR troll=="full frontal goatse porn for all!".

In other words, with the librelist code, it IS possible to have a middle land where the community can voice their opinion of what's spam or troll without eliminating real dissenting opinions and debate.

As my name suggests I am a bit trollish myself as I am a fan of swears, passion and strong opinions.

I certainly look forward to a community where the "owner" is less able to control people's input according to their own tastes.

Stackoverflow has recently banned swearing.... because. This the kind of thing that pisses me off.
