Is "grow a fucking | clue, you moron" such an operator? What is it in response to? Would such a response result in response to an already posted article according to theory B? I think not. However, a _polite_ message with destructive or anti-social contents _would_ receive such a response, so theory A produces flames from non-flames, because it allows destructive morons to get through, while theory B does not produce flames from non-flames, because the non-constructive would be kept out to begin with. /// --
