If we can't behave like intelligent and sensible people, and together maintain a good place to hang around a bit and discuss photography, not even invoking the pope will help to create that free and civilized place here.
Isn't there enough culture and control within ourselves?

No, there isn't. Remember when Walt was incessantly bashing the slt? Any normal moderation would have limited these posts, and allowed his positive inputs to remain. Instead it produced a schism in the forum, because it was left unchecked for far too long, imo.
You and I know people of
any kind even in our personal environment. Some grumpy, some lovable, some stubborn, some hilarious, some rude, some amicable, and so on. Should the irritating ones all be eradicated, or put to silence? Then there's a very long and utterly controversial road to go. You may even have to 'kill your brother'.
Really bad is the portion of secundary posts that keep on coming in response, endlessly baiting, needlessly needling, unnecessarily
attacking the persons we all
know express their opinions in some uneasy way.
I would say: think for yourself, just take any route that differs from the animal reflex way, and be a free and human original. It will extinguish the negative nonsense.
Without someone else deleting your / my words.
