If there are no restrictions on what one is allowed to say, then how does one go about "getting rid" of the rude?
Every "unrestricted" forum that I've ever participated in was an on-going flame fest.
The only places where this didn't happen were forums in which all/most of the members agreed with each other on matters like politics. In such cases, you weren't dealing with "free speech". You were dealing with a very, very private club -- one in which all of the members would gang up and immediately jump on anyone that deviated from the party line.
This was called "free speech".
Oh, well......if you've found utopia.....then I'd advise against allowing anyone to live there. So long as they are human, anyway.
Utopia usually ends whenever people are found together in the same place.
