Seeing as the risk of excluding people seems to have died down, let me opine that it would be an evil pollution of our founding father's ideals ever to allow anyone of Australian ancestry to hold higher office in this country, especially one who was left-handed and a woman and who didn't believe in our constitutionally protected right to play the accordion. "Scum" is too good a word for such people, and if any of them starts shilling such swill in these thread I say we delete 'em. At least that's what anybody who truly loves this thread would do.

I guess you're talking about being inflammatory or bullying or hectoring other people. Simply posting on any topic is going to exclude or discourage participation by people not interested in that topic, at least in a manner of speaking.

The concern is that one person would come and use the thread in such a way that it would exclude or discourage other voices from participating.

Space hog? Is Typepad running low on memory or bandwidth? This concept is new to me, but being insecure and someone who comments up a storm, I can't help sensing this is addressed to me or at least my ilk. What precisely is the problem/problems? Do you fear monopolization of the conversation? That everyone commenting here is competing for eyeballs and if one person comments too often or too voluminously he or she distract reader's from other peoples' profound posts? Or comes off as having more to say when really all he or she has is more free time? There's some sense to that, but so long as we're in the realm of ideas, shouldn't representation be in proportion to number of ideas rather than in proportion to the number of egos posting? I guess even on the cyber side of our world one makes concessions to others' egos, if one's not self-absorbed. I'll try restraining myself. But what to do with the free time?
