The one and only point of complaint I agree with is that there is an identifiable coterie of government and/or public relations shills on FR, as much as there were CFR tin-foiler, racists, etc. Banning them or instituting a Slashdot-like system of "karma" and/or the ability to filter out specific posters would further improve FR content.

And that is a VERY minor quibble with a job magnificently well done.

I have thought that a Slashdot-style system would be nice here, but I really like the way the discussion flows as a consecutive set of posts. For moderation to work, you have to move to a threaded system where replies are kept with the original posts, thus making it possible for individual mini-discussions to move up and down in a hierarchy.

It's a totally different way of working, and I like FR's strictly chronological system better.
