I found that vulgar language did a lot of damage to my 'unmoderated' list.
I asked politely, then deleted the offender. I let any comment on any
issue go by - except personal attacks and vulgar language. I explained that
it was like inviting people to a party at my house - I sure hoped they
had a good time, but being genuinely offensive was out of order.
I stuck with this and I'm glad I did. I got some 'fascist pig' and
'freedom of speech' comments, but I didn't buy it.
