This Thought Brought to You By My Hammer

(It makes things look like nails. *g*)

Okay, idle hypothetical I'm throwing out here:

What do you think would happen if SFWA empowered a newsgroups moderator to enforce a code of conduct for the org's online spaces?

Because y'know, it's really just a standard-issue troll infestation they have going there. Just a long-standing and entrenched one.

It has been suggested, but the reaction is always OH NOEZ MAI RIGHTS.

In my experience, those are the people you want to moderate the most. Because their rights seem to mean the right to be a dick to everyone else and yet, escalate all injuries to the highest level if they feel slighted.

Yes ma'am. Every single one of your words = gospel freaking truth.
