This board has always been focused on the subject with people of like interest. It's openness has been the key to its success and the willingness of participants to share.
However, there are always vandals in the world who have no other agenda then to despoil. They take advantage of openness to practice thuggery. We've seen too much of this same mind set here in the U.S. of late.
I would like to see our board remain open, but just as in the larger world -- the price will be the time and effort to weed out the bad actors in a moderation process.
