Keep the moderation away. The AC forum is indeed a self-policing community. If there are those that can't handle it getting a bit rough and tumble now and then, they should take their toys and go play elsewhere.

The folks that Guava and ML seem to be attacking are some of the most entertaining to read. Moderating the forum and shutting them down will indeed make it a dead forum.

And complaining about rants in the OMNI forum that have nothing to do with items posted in AC are irrelevant to those of us who are in the AC forum.

Perhaps a "real" poll should be taken. I think the answer would come through pretty crystal-clear.
