Nope. Despite all the false alarms about the death of Usenet, I think

...Hardly. Blogs tend to be dominated by the opinions of the person
hosting it, while forums tend to collapse upon themselves because
there's too many dickwad moderators playing power trip games. Usenet
will always be around because if anything's been clear, the FA is
always pretty much sacrosanct, for good or bad.

Usenet gives the reader the power to play moderator by sticking posters in
killfiles. What web based forum does that?

There are many forums (fora?) that have "Ignore" features. :-p
