The Forum Is Not a Stage for One-Way Noise
While everyone deserves a voice, what we’re witnessing isn’t dialogue—it’s disruption. Flooding the forum daily with off-topic arguments, strawman attacks, and noise isn’t contributing to the discussion—it’s actively derailing it.
Imagine a room with 200 people gathered to build consensus. Now imagine one person @Mico standing in the middle yelling nonsense from sunrise to sunset. No one gets to speak. No ideas move forward. No one can think straight. Even in the most radically democratic space, this would be unacceptable—not because we’re silencing anyone, but because we’re protecting everyone else’s right to participate meaningfully.
Some of us are trying to build, to understand, to critique constructively. But every thread ends up orbiting around this one troll. That’s not balance. That’s imbalance disguised as neutrality.
Forum admins might be trying to remain impartial—and we get that. But inaction here is taking a side: the side of the loudest person in the room, not the side of productive discourse.
Moderation isn’t censorship. It’s stewardship. And it’s time we start treating it that way.
