That's a shame. The departure of reasonable people such as yourself is only going to make it worse over there.

I'm afraid you can't have an active internet forum without aggressive moderation. Too many people get caught up in the purported anonymity or whatever and just let loose with all sorts of vitriolic nonsense. The only defense is active moderation: deleting posts, banning users, etc. You'll then get accused of censorship in the cause of promoting some agenda (deleting denier posts? clearly you're part of the vast worldwide Jewish conspiracy to control the media!!), but hey, you can delete those, too, and anyone who is swayed by that kind of nonsense you probably don't want on your forum anyway... -- Mark J.
