We do enforce a standard of professional behavior in the forum, and a number of 
posts do get removed. There's a somewhat looser standard when the vitriol is 
directed at me, at my request and in the spirit of letting people say what they 
want, but when it is directed at any other forum member it gets the boot.

We also do not allow cursing, political discussions, or other topics that are 
not about D.

Moderation is under Mike's purview, and his judgements are final and he's got my 
full support.
