To: The Philosopher who wrote (15825 ) 6/6/2001 4:09:09 PM From: Solon Respond to Rekax. My post was not contentious. I was merely referring to the fact that tou's apply equally to all threads. As to the fact that moderated threads allow members beneath admin to set certain standards without wasting admin's time--which is to say, they may moderate disruptive and undesirable people off or back on the thread in the interests of the participants--well, people are entitled to differ on the merits of this. Keep in mind that individuals were already allowed to moderate whose posts appear to them on the threads they frequent. But as it is, it's arbitrary and capricious, and there is no appeal procedure permanent removal from a thread except as a last resort is small minded, but in a virtual community where homesteading is available to all, I can buy it. If I am moderated off a thread there is either a good or a bad reason. If it is a bad reason, then I am content to avoid their company.
