Kill files are just as effective as moderators, but don't have the problem
of power going to the moderators' heads, delays in approving postings, and
suppression of alternate views.

Except some news readers don't have kill files, some posters are
posting under numerous, every-changing psuedonyms, and moderation
doesn't have to mean pre-moderation (it can be retroactive).

But I see your point.

Yes it's not black and white. But try posting a well-reasoned critique of
feminism in soc.feminism. When it was originally moderated, debate was
supposed to be allowed. This was changed unilaterally and nothing can be
done. Moderators are unchallengeable dictators.
