sadly, what is prevalent with opposing ideologies is they tend to NOT debate peacefully. i fear whether the anonymity of secure forums actually aggravates more the burning atmosphere of two fighting parties as they can post potentially harmful remarks on their own whim thinking they would not suffer the consequences. true, a moderator role should be introduced but technically, wouldn’t that be equivalent to monitoring or filtering of some form as well?
however , it has to be agreed that secure forums and blogs are the century’s most revolutionary medium in influencing the commoners ideology; either for highlighting injustice, alerting the masses of atrocities and spreading propaganda( and libel too) at a much faster pace.
