I totally agree. I have dramatically changed my views, too. No longer do I allow even mere jerks in forums I control. They are welcome to be jerks somewhere else, but if they can't be constructive and come for the conversations they are gonna get deleted more and more in my comment areas, FriendFeed clusters, and on the other sites I have something to do with. It's not just racism, either. The stuff aimed at Kathy Sierra and my wife were very awful things. I have no idea why people want to injure other people, but they do. Even if they don't use sticks and stones to do it.
