At some point you've really gotta decide what kind of site you want to be
... and then be fascist pigs about enforcing it... thereby making it not the site you wished it to be.
I think the freedom angle is a valid and worthwhile philosophy regardless of the less than 100% approval of every decision everyone else makes.
The worst part of the fascist pig approach to moderation is that it would enable constant infighting and political lobbying to ban content. I disapprove of murder, and would like to declare any national or political subreddit that includes advocacy for freedomizing Syria and Iraq to be a hate group. Are they not hate groups because their views have media support? Should moderators have to explain why every hate monger I point out is not being banned quickly enough to keep their subreddit alive?
There's nothing here!
