Why do you go around telling other people what to do? If you want anarchy
and like reading junk, then continue to read net.motss. I don't see how
mod.motss hurts you as long as net.motss exists. Clearly there are people
who want it, for someone took the trouble to create it and moderate it.
I even see people post to it, this might mean people read it too. mod.motss
seems to fill a demand, why can't you let it be? If it stops filling a need
that will become apparent too and then you can remove it. Meanwhile,
I think it's a good idea.

Who's the facist here anyway?
