Jesus I said "moderation to post topics which affect BM as a whole and not any individual continent, realm or other subset", not "moderation to make people nice to each other".
What I was responding to was your implication that people were somehow more "moderate" on the d-list than the forum because they knew that everyone on the list would read what they wrote. And that implication was and is wrong. People were absolutely brutal to each other on the d-list on a regular basis, worse I think than almost anything I've ever seen on the forum. I'm sure moderation kept that to a minimum on the moderated version of the list (which I apparently did not sign up for), but then moderation should be able to accomplish the same thing with the forum which in any case has been on the whole far more civil than I recall the d-list being relative to the total volume of content.
