Re: [Utah-astronomy] How to handle "wars" on UA

The only thing worse than under-moderating is over-moderating. Imagine the recent off topic heated debate if one or or more of the participants had the power to silence their opponents and was still free to say whatever they wished. That is what would drive ME to leave this list. I trust Jo Grahn because she understands the importance of the moderator's neutrality. I do not trust anyone else on this list to do this in a fair and reasoned manner. She gave a warning shot early on in the debate, it was just a bit of sarcasm but it was enough for the intellegent to see what was the right thing to do about the topic. Some just can't take a hint.
