Interfaith Group

people who relentlessly attack others in pseudonymous Internet forums can come up with a million justifications for why that is positive-- because it's a good thing to attack people who are wrong-- and civil-- as long as they don't resort to name-calling. I've seen a dozen Interfaith discussion groups be destroyed over the years-- back in the early to mid 90s in Usenet, and in the early 2000s in Yahoo groups. In every case, a friendly and respectful majority at the start got disrupted by unfriendly and disrespectful individuals, a minority but a vociferous bunch of fanatics that destroyed the group. In every case, waffling and well-meaning moderators tolerated escalating levels of abuse in the name of free speech, until the bad people drove out all the good people.
