Refuse to look at newspapers? Refuse to listen to politicians and preachers? Temptation is everywhere! Much better is to learn how to deal with it. Isolation doesn't work. One can walk a straighter path if one's eyes are open! Censorship is also ineffective and hence pointless. It is too easy to decide that someone is a troll [or worse] if what they say doesn't feel right. Closing one's ears is inviting disaster! The strength of CCC is it's general policy of permissiveness. The moderators are "moderate" and that is a good thing. Let's hope that it stays that way.
