So is there still going to be active moderation in this forum? I understand that personal attacks and insults have to be dealt with but have never been a big fan of censorship.

I think we're going to experiment with a more open Origins forum. (I need to chat to co-moderator NormF to check this with him.) The discussions that we've been having in some of the other forums that have been moved here have been very encouraging in terms of our ability to discuss these issues in civil and respectful ways.
