Therefore I believe a moderator is the best answer, so long as the moderator filters only those messages that are witless/abusive. The moderator would also have to be relatively detached and objective, not an officer of any one cryonics organization (which exempts Kevin Brown, who is treasurer of CryoCare). Why not a compromise? Allow posting without moderation by normal subscribers, and require anonymous messages to go through a trusted moderator, or even multiple moderators each with approval ability. If we start seeing temporarily created normal subscriptions being used for this garbage, then we can move to more complete moderation.
