One could argue that once you say "We're a free speech site with very few exceptions" then you are no longer a free speech site. You're *mostly* a free speech site ;)

I think he meant: "we're a free speech site except that in no way are we a free speech site" Within a subreddit, you are at the whim of whatever mod wants to ban for any reason. Sure, the level of censorship varies between subreddits but it is explicitly allowed. Of course Reddit as a whole has no set policy... just a mechanism that ensures anyone with power can create whatever policy they want.
