I think it's a double-edged sword. This forum is restricted to specific topics and there are a lot of glowies and shills in here too. So it's nice that the content seems to be moderated in some ways. I get frustrated when opinions or even facts are silenced. Sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. I get the feeling that all of us want to be "awakened" to truth, no matter the topic. However, overall the mods do well here.
