Part of this fear is cultural. ICT folks are training to provide network
"security" so any form of openness generates concern. It is important to note
that openness is a democratic value. It is also significantly cheaper to
post-moderate. Also, with Issues Forums we don't pre-moderate to help limit our
liability as a potential publisher.
