Funny how the entire premise behind these free speech platformsand the GOP policies targeting tech censorship and the endless faux outrage on cable newsis negated the minute the complainers are put in charge.

Jason Miller pitched a free-speech utopia. He got a moderation nightmare.

Ahhh, internet forum moderation policy debates.
Right-wing politicians and pundits will have you believe that their victimization at the hands of overzealous online censors is a challenge both unique and urgent. But for as long as there have been posters posting on the vast information superhighway, the power users among them have discussed the very rules of the road that are perturbing conservatives with passion and verve. These bitter disputes happen no matter the forum. No matter the topic.
A few examples:
How does one ensure that the integrity of the FarmersOnly dating site isnt harmed by the presence of a garden-variety suburban green thumb?
Could the wheel of ChatRoulette keep spinning if the ball track is consistently landing on a lonely mans junk?
Were the lovers lounges in AOLs People Connection undermined by 13-year-old boys unconvincingly pretending to be 40-year-old divorcees ISO companionship?
One of my favorite message-board haunts, GWHoops.com, was forced to close up shop when our long-suffering site manager was caught betwixt his laissez faire ethos and a troll with multiple personality disorder whose incessant posting overwhelmed the tens of Colonial faithful who merely wanted to vent about Coach Hobbss defensive schemes.
