As you see, the discussion is actually about power and control,
and what happens when someone refuses to follow the rules of
good behavior expected by the community. In an unmoderated group
like this, everyone is victimized by people who are posting
off-topic. The only solution is to use force - make the group
moderated, or appeal to the posters' ISPs.
