The real tragedy is that you seem to need a contraversial topic line to get the attention of many posters in order to generate real debate. I think that the moderation is more intrusive than two years ago. Is this bad, my vote is yes. With agressive debate comes contraversy, but a lot of information and good ideas come from that debate. Much of that is eliminated as the debate is closed by moderation. We are talking about what FT is and is becoming. It doesn't look all that good to me. Again I am not talking about individual moderators but the over all moderation process that FT is using today.
