Really.... now that is interesting. There is a forum that i help moderate too. well, I've backed off for a brief hiatus for the past couple of months..but have been there since '97. We've had our share of major disruptors, from racists, to just people who dislike conservatives and/or conservative values. We do allow all other political persuasions because they are there to debate...while it does turn into insult throwing wars at times..on a whole it's been fairly easy. Sometimes things have gotten personal...due to the nature of forums can we can't tell whether a person is in a sarcastic mood... the use of smileys and frowns helps....but not enough sometimes.

I have had emails sent to B2K that are filled with venom towards the President and his supporters and recently the words Nazi, Hitler, Gestapo keep getting brought up. I reject them and ban them because our group right now of about 700 is just there to receive news of what is happening with the President and Republicans and to make some comments and then will be volunteering in this fall's election. We never were there to be a debating group but that doesn't stop the DemocRATS.com folks from trying!

Before we went to moderated, we had all kinds of trouble including gay porn being sent to the group. Have seen it all in the 2 1/2 years that I have been on that group. One email actually complained because we moderate new members when DemocRATS.com doesn't, and I was interferring with his free speech! That one made me crack up!
