Exactly. Ask Stonetools, Giggleton, and me who "that jerk" is, and you'll get three different answers. Do I want a thread without astroturfers and agents provocateur? Of course I do. But I don't want it so much that I think we should abandon the democratic nature of a forum like this one in order to obtain it.

There is, after all, always another option: Start a new forum and ban the people you don't like. If enough people think that mix of posters is superior to the one they have in MobileRead, they'll go there.
