This is the essence of any political community. The volunteers of GEEK Force were invited to come here and do just that, then were abandoned by an institution that talks enthusiastically about freedom, but enthusiastically provides cowards and bullies the machinery to anonymously destroy any vestige of civility or community. If this is what Michael Kinsley means when he talks about the cheap attitude of the Net, then apologies are owed him - he's absolutely right. The promise of GEEK Force was profound. Its destruction was a clear sign that brutality in the name of freedom is no different than censorship in the name of morality.
