The Experiment has Failed!

That is, if one wishes their garden to flourish it must receive some degree of cultivation.

A hands off policy simply allows the weeds and insects to take over.

So, Steve is wrong.

And anyone else that thinks an online forum can succeed without some degree of moderation. Moderation in all things, including moderation, does not mean no moderation. It means the adept cooks a small fish with care. Without too much cooking one becomes an adept cook.

Otherwise, we get what we have here. A microcosm of the macrocosm of the current state of affairs of modern man. People hiding behind facades, scams, viruses, and junk mail.

The adept is not blind to causality. Wu-wei can mean both inaction and action. That is both inaction and/or action can be the proper action.

Individually and/or socially there is need for mature guidance.

For the foreseeable future cops are a necessary evil.
