The trolls and stirrers like Evans aren't tolerated their and are either
excluded or their posts are rejected if they are offensive.

You can find specialist groups and general ones, between them you should

True, but I don't like the Yahoo walled garden approach, it aims to make

find useful postings from Yahoo anyway, because Google caches them.
