Do you like these ideas ?

Yes, though I'd offer the suggestion of some sort of moderation. By committee, by "chosen" individuals, I don't know. I just wouldn't want to see things degenerate into another Usenet (I love usenet, but the signal-to-nose ratio due to anonymity all but kills it for me).

I'm against censorship. I'm for flame-resistant communities. I don't know that they can happen where complete anonymity and chaos are allowed. And yes, that does make me sad.

(who's also learning much from Dave, Phil, etc... I'm always pleased to see the diversity of viewpoints that all still point toward rational thoughts in a polite way)
