If someone doesn’t like a forum’s moderation policies, they’re free to find a different forum. This has been true since BBSes. It’s been true since the days of newspapers. It’s been true since the days of people speechifying in taverns.

Moderation is needed to keep online discussions bearable, that’s nothing new. Are you new to the internet? Or are you a free speech "absolutist"?

If you think moderation is bad, let me remind you that you are here on a forum with moderation, and I’m glad it’s the case. By your standards, this forum must be as bad as Reddit, and must have an agenda.
