Who are you talking to? -- it should be clear by now to everyone that activist environmentalism (or environmental activism) is becoming a general ideology about humans, about their freedom, about the relationship between the individual and the state, and about the manipulation of people under the guise of a 'noble' idea. It is not an honest pursuit of 'sustainable development,' a matter of elementary environmental protection, or a search for rational mechanisms designed to achieve a healthy environment. Yet things do occur that make you shake your head and remind yourself that you live neither in Joseph Stalins Communist era, nor in the Orwellian utopia of 1984. Vaclav Klaus |

Erm, your feed must be particularly bad is all I can say. I do not think you
will change what has been going on since I've been here in the 1990s. You could make it a moderated group, but who would do the work?At the very least you would need a moderation bot, and trying to get newsgroups changed over the whole world so that all new posts go to the moderation address has been a problem for many years now. If human moderated, the immediacy goes, and soon or or later so does the moderator leaving the group dead in the water. You can kill file people you find tiresome or just learn to sort the messages . I do a bit of both, and then sometimes you can still reply to the odd off topic post if you want. If you use major killfiles though sooner or later you end up not seeing anybody at all. It is one of the prices we pay for using newsgroups. However Forum type systems are the devils work, and I'd much rather have the pollution to ignore than that draconian inefficient front end any day.

And of course there are the potty mouths on all groups, oh and the trolls,
sometimes one and the same. it is unfortunately how the world is. I suspect you have never been exposed to social media then? I have no real issue with any of it, its just so easy to skip whole threads whether its talking about drain cleaner or Polly Ticks. Remember this is plain text, no pretty pictures and hence the data space is minute by comparison to other forms of mass participation systems.
