It gets even worse on yahoo groups, at times. I used to be on this LotR fic group, and one time I got into a discussion with someone else, about a fic, and suddenly there was this post from the moderator, saying: 'Enough! If you two don't desist, you both will be removed from this list.' Or something along those lines. After that, I always pictured this moderator wearing a uniform and wielding a whip, or something. Unbelievable... ;)

It's sad that people are ruining it for other people this way, basically, and they don't even know, or they just don't care.
