No, not as long as the insulting flamers have access to it. Lack
moderation allows a few nasty folks to destroy a group,

Flamers & trolls are basically attention seekers. Deny them the attention they
seek, and they will eventually dry up and blow away. The problem (OK, the
near-impossibility) is getting the entire group to "agree to ignore".
