Many of the things I've read in this thread remind me of the same arguments, whining, complaining about "fairness", attacks on the Sysops if someone got "banned" (as I did on the Republican Forum on Compuserve for 6 months once) that went on back then. And by "back then" I'm talking only around 1991-92 or so.

That's one of the cool things about Usenet - no one can "ban" you from posting there unless you REALLY mess up badly enough that your ISP cancels your Internet account. Then, you just get another and carry on.

Great, if Usenet works for you...enjoy.

Personally, I think that total free for all would look more like DU. I don't want to be on a forum that just gets into name calling. Or the same, old, tired arguments just get retread with different language or rhetoric or verbal attacks.

Like I said, been there, done that.
