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.

As over the top and wacko as Cornel West is I have followed his career and media appearances for a long long time and he is really great, very sincere and right to the point.

Who is it going to be that can crystalize these very very different people with all kinds of ideas so the Progressive movement can figure out a road to take that will get them larger acceptance in the mainstream culture ... or in other words, what are the problems in the Progressive movement that scare and alienate people, and how can it move past that?

Brother Cornel speaks most eloquently on these issues. It's sad that not every American can seem to be able to see where he is coming from and how intelligent he is.
