We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.

General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.

Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

Yes, there are definitely times a person needs some help saying "Good-Bye" to life and letting go. The Hospital is contracted to help delay that at all costs. What a position to be in, without, someone to help patients say, "Good-Bye". i.e. .............Hospice Care at home or in the hospital to allow for a graceful death with some dignity from pain and suffering. ---a 65 yr old who has been through it many times now.

James Surowiecki's conversation with Elizabeth Warren is precisely the kind of journalism we need -- keep up this good work. But PLEASE -- ask your technicians and others who produce and prepare the video for streaming, to pay more attention to the audio quality. It's abysmal.

It doesn't take a busload of intuition to realize, when you are listening to this women, you are getting the plain spoken truth. Elizebeth Warren is the sharp tip of the sword fighting Corporate Facism in this country. Now lets put 20 or more worthies in the senate-two more on the supreme court and the republic is saved.

If conservative politicians and commentators were REALLY conservative...i.e. if they REALLY believed in personal responsibility and letting the market decide...

...they would LOVE this woman.

Unfortunately, they just believe in getting PAID...

...by financial institutions that DON'T believe in corporate responsibility for their own mistakes.

The audio is fine to me. Maybe the above poster needs headphones to augment the volume. Thank you for this interview, Prof. Warren is a breath of fresh, sane air. Why is the administration blocking her? Does she make too much sense?
