Yesterday, Boing Boing posted an interesting diatribe on their comment moderation policies. Someone obviously got frustrated moderating comments and had to voice it. It is similar to posts I have seen on City Room and the Caucus.
All in all, these posts say a lot about the state of discourse on the web, and offer up clear examples of where the limitations currently are in constructing more focused conversations.
I thought you all might take solace in reading that other bloggers also face the good and the bad of on-line discourse. I have my hopes that the means of constructing a better conversation will only become better with time.
