    A key ingredient in any web community is enough interesting content and variety to keep people coming back frequently. In that spirit, "The Conversation" is right on the money.

    I think we can safely assume that everyone here is an adult (more or less-- we are mostly men). We can deal with the occasional flareups, especially with judicious attention from the moderators. I remember that my first post on this thread drew an immediate bumper-sticker flame from some guy with an anger problem, but sticks and stones, right?

    I vote to keep it.

We have groupings of people here that we have attacked to include; "Americans", "Europeans", every ethnicity, DE users, females, members of other forums, etc.,(the list is embarrasingly long); even though we have all those members represented here within our membership who read these posts. I assume very few of them feel uncomfortable posting. And that is, in many cases, a direct result of Moderation.

    I am sure it came as quite a shock to colleen, mamabear, viola, lilith and silver as well.
