if you're a good moderator, it wouldn't be a nightmare.

banning politics and religion talk is cowardly, but it's his network
and he can do what he wants.

I'm a live and let live kind of guy, even if I don't like something it has a right to be there and not be destroyed just because I don't like what they do and how they do it.

years ago i helped this one guy(one of many) setup his ftn network, using help another long term sysop gave me.  I gave him a lot of ideas and help. i ran a site with services and he essentially copied me by using some of the same scripts i did and he edited the code to make it seem like it was his.

He stopped being my friend and acted like he didn't even know me.  I let god sort it out and in the end he is gone and I am still here.   i did yank my services but that's because It was a lot of work sometimes and some things that i offered were dated.

so people can go play in avon's sandbox. maybe that's what they want.
he's protecting them from the bad things like politics and religion!
