I don't like the idea either. It would slow down the pace of the list, and 
I fear that a moderated list would only lead to more bad feeling, when 
somebody who thinks they are making a legitimate point has their message 
rejected because somebody else considers it a flame. And of course, that 
bad feeling will spread to the wikipedia itself.

I understand why people want the list moderated - there's been a lot of 
tiresome crap on here lately (there usually is). But if you don't want to 
read a message, what's wrong with simply deleting it? Everybody can be 
their own moderator that way, without having somebody decide what they 
should and shouldn't read.
