BOR is a populist. We don’t see hate speech here, or I wouldn’t be here. When I post, I don’t want to have to wait 1/2 hour until some moderator approves it and releases it. FR functions successfully within a business model that has certain costs. Having paid staff would cause the service to be changed, to where it would not be the same. Hey- we could have google ads! Blech.

As to BOR’s comments about moderation, we could moderate ourselves by posting reactions to people who show exceptionally poor taste. Or should people here believe in “live and let live”? (let jerks be jerks?) Or maybe we just give the standard liberal answer: if you don’t like it, just change the channel?

"BOR is a populist."

No. He's no populist. He just wants his audience to think he is.
