MODERATORS
It's not just that - somehow 20 years ago being happy about Saddam Hussein's death wasn't something to be moderated, neither was being against it. People would call to kill all kinds of people. I think printed newspapers and TV weren't all that reserved either.
It's now, in our time, when censorship is being treated not just like something normal, but like something that has always been there.
And also you can't build a civilization by the rules that it makes. You'll have less and less entropy on each stage, and you will come to a rules' deadlock, and if you don't resolve that deadlock violently, then your civilization dies. And preferably deadlocks will be resolved violently before they threaten the whole of your civilization.
So yes, one crook managed to appear clean before law, but was wasted by a brave young man. Cheers to Luigi for doing what the legal system should.

If we can't say kill or fuck, then its way harder to have a meaningful discussion about it, one that isn't shoehorned into a pre built narrative that must include murder is bad, but cannot say murder is not only bad. For example.
If we want to thrive, we must be allowed to err on the wrong side (whatever side that is).
But I guess we'll be harder to manipulate if we are allowed to discuss.
Any moderator who bans violent speech should be treated by the users as corrupt, and their community should be avoided.
