“What BOR demands is some form of perfection in scanning millions of posts for any objectionable content.”
“FR has excellent rules for the community and excellent monitors (the Admin Mods plus all of us), but some occasional outrageous post may slip through.”
What you Freeps are doing here is “demand some form of perfection in Bill’s ability to properly screen his data sources.” Might it just be that BOR got it wrong? BOR is not going to say a monitor is needed unless he had some apparent factual basis for doing so. So what was the factual basis? If the factual basis relied upon by BOR supports his conclusion then kuddos to his proper analysis. However, as is known by me and all frequenting this forum, the facts do not support his inference that the posting here is out of control, hateful, or irresponsible. Therefore, I submit he had bad data.
So call into question his bad data. He made a mistake. But it was one of fact and not one of biased or skewed interpretation of facts for purposes of dissing this forum or promoting a social/political agenda.

BOB can’t investigate everything himself. Therefore he has to rely upon others. Which means that sometimes mistakes will be made. He isn’t perfect, but he also not the thought police, although word has it he supports the hate crime charges brought against the koran toilet student dunking recidivist.
