Ha ha. Either you really believe that, in which case you're naive, or you don't, in which case you're either kidding yourself or lying.

This "moderation" business won't make anyone's life better, because the "trolling" problem which it will supposedly solve doesn't even exist; the actual problem is much closer to home, and how like the URC regulars to steadfastly deny that and try to shift the blame onto others.

Pathetic, as usual.
