[Tfug] List confusion

[Tim Ottinger]

Moderation keeps this list free for all.  Without coercive force, anyone can
take over and hijack this whole forum for his own personal agenda.  By
having moderators like Jon, we all get to have a say.

The fact that Jon let it go on so/too long before acting shows that he does
not relish his opportunities to use coercive force as a dictator would, and
was not supporting his personal agenda.

A dictatorship is a situation where one person gets to express his opinion,
and everyone else has to sit still and let him, no matter what.  This is a
social forum, where anyone who tries to take over is stopped so that
everyone else can participate.  I relish talking about stuff without having
someone jump in and lay flamebait all over the information.

Good job making this a place for all of us.
Tim
