Having to ask permission to join, and the announcement that there was already a list of undesirables was an enormous mistake.
No, the mistake was having a separate place where the undesirables were not welcome, as opposed to simply banning them from the forum.
It's easy to sit on the sidelines and jeer those trying to make things better, as evidenced by yourself and a few others who have been griping about the DC incessantly ever since the start -- if not before that.
Any effort to do anything about the low quality of discussion and the constant irrationality and abusive behavior is derided as "hubris". What you call "hubris" I call "trying to make a place where people don't have to deal with abusive people incapable or uninterested in reasoning".
But again, apparently most of this forum actually likes mindless propagandizing, threads with people who can't even respond to an argument logically, and lots of flaming and nonsense. So fine, you've got your "non-hubris" forum. Here it is. Wallow in it.
