A very difficult subject, this. Any form of monitoring raises the question of freedom of speech. I like the freedom that Mudcat provides (thanks, Max!) and I wouldn't like to think of it being curtailed. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion, even if it is at varience with most of the regular 'catters.

And when people post petty insults, I'm sure that they tell us much more about themselves than they could by telling us their name. More than we are interested in knowing, in fact.
