Right. Like the mods aren't bad enough already. Its one of the worst features of modern life, the way people think they have the right to silence others because they have a password.
They already bias web searches, tweets, news, and videos. Now you want to give them the power to decide which people are worth being heard and who to silence even on a rinky dink audio nerd site. Wonderful.
This is what happens when a whole generation grows up knowing nothing of history, philosophy, anything really. The ignorance is appalling.
No. What we should do instead is let everyone post everything. Only the poster should be able to delete anything. But even as things now stand at least we are all free to read and decide for ourselves. There are people whose posts I almost never bother to read. I see the name, I know to skip on by, because they seldom if ever have anything of value to say.
Yet every once in a while a seemingly useless comment creates a, hate to use the term but, teachable moment. Every garbled idea is an opportunity to ungarble and maybe even illuminate. Its all in how you choose to look at it.
So, to summarize, you are asking:
to give up your right to choose for yourself;
to force ME to give up MY right to choose for myself;
to give it to people with a proven track record of abuse;
and forfeit learning opportunities you cannot even imagine;
all so you can feel a little less need to actually pay attention and choose what to read.
Really? Really????!
