There's a kind of poison that you just can't get out of a forum without having access to the moderate and delete buttons. Being the lone voice standing just indicates to anyone visiting that 99% of the people agree, and there's this one hot head who doesn't. That doesn't mean that that's the way it is, but when you come into a forum where ugly posts are left standing and nobody says boo, that's the way it feels. I'd love to tell you that it just takes spunk to turn it around, but it's simply not true. Moderate and delete are the only tools that work, once it gets like this.
Sorry, one more tool. You create something new that's the way you want it, and you get the moderate and delete buttons there. And then you just swing by every once in awhile, the way Tom's group is doing, find the best conservative treatment people and just pick them off.
