The line between moderation and censorship is rather subjective to the moderator's own biases, don't you think? I'm not saying we should be free of moderation, just that it's very difficult to keep it completely objective, especially if there's any politics involved.


Not really. Perhaps slightly in how 'rude' you let people be, but none of that is censoring ideas or thoughts.

This comes down to the moderator I guess, an assumption is that they know how to distinguish the two.
