Consistent, you said: “I’m glad that the membership of the Circle is not free. Otherwise, we would have been bombarded with unwelcomed characters.”
You are correct. Nasty people post where it is free and can unload their vitriol freely as they are anonymous. When they have to put skin in the game, contribute, be identified, they are not interested. I’m certain there are people on a certain website who would love to come here and contaminate this site with Trump trash and call people here the usual nasty names as appears on another website.
It takes time to build a site and have the people find it and stay.
