People that want to discuss issues contradiction need moderation and I think a suggestion of "moderation is censorship" is simply right, AND it can end up stifling discussion if applied AT ALL. There is no balance that works- -except for those unable to defend their views. In the case of cosmic, he refused to even answer a challenge to the technical knowledge he himself claimed he had and I had to supply the beginnings of an answer. There are people on SI of both sides of the political spectrum who just want to fight and you can find many of them on the thread that post came from. Cosmic claims to have friends with different political views than his and X's. If anyone believes that, I have some bridges for sale. The 2 Clinton administrations had done nothing but polarize opinion in this country and that has been to the benefit of the lawless rulers who engaged in exactly the sort of behavior he criticizes. What we have in this country is not a political philosophy because a government is not a political philosophy; it is a government. Usenet was not ruined; it was replaced by the web. cosmic said "I'm almost ready to stop posting on SI in general". One can only hope. There are stereotyped villain and heroes because there are posters here who absolutely insist on their right to act in outrageous manners and are outraged when some takes notice or remembers later. His "wife" is a prime example. Wrong is wrong, no matter who does it and right is right, no matter who does it. Democrats better realize that and embrace it. If there is to be a coalition to be formed that can keep the country safe from the Mass. Mafia, then it will come from us. He said "I've wasted a better part of a week defending scientific thought and principles". He did? I set him a mathematical/physical problem and he wouldn't touch it.
