It will be moderated over there though. A radical new approach, where attacks on fellow members will be excised as a matter of course by Gandalf The White in an effort to have topical discussions without the board turning into a slugfest between members.

In other words: “control freakism!”

I've always preferred the model practised by the late Dr Jack Salonen at the old Aussies' News Talkback Group where anything went and if people didn't have the balls to “take it” (i.e. were too thin-skinned), they were encouraged to bugger off. Dr Jack's ethos was that “it's hard-core on terra-firma and at Aussies' News Talkback and if you don't like it, then fūck-off!!”
