RE: [DMCForum] CENSORSHIP

I think you are absolutely correct.  Most people, I believe, know when to
say when.  For example, when several people on the list start screaming back
at someone to please stop and they don't, that is probably past the point.

It's unfortunate that Walt used a subjective word like "moderation" 
there (of course, he meant "in moderate amounts", not "via a moderated 
format").  It's subjective because it doesn't specify explicitly the 
degree of censorship that he considers "moderate".  Taken out of 
context, anyone could interpret this one line to mean any degree they 
wish.  Digested with the whole post, it's more clear that he didn't 
intend for people to be banned when they discuss arbitrary topics, even 
if the majority of the group's active members seem to indicate that they 
want that.
