It's kinda funny how the comments in here can be clearly organized into 2 categories:
A) Moderators and users that understand that Reddit is a private company, "free speech" doesn't apply, and that moderating out hate-speech and extremist rhetoric is not violating any laws.
B) People who have made numerous hate-based or extremist comments in a variety of subreddits, primarily from a very similar line of thinking, and are complaining that they have been "censored" by moderators that are abusing their power and/or exercising their ego.
It's also mildly amusing that with every person in here that's made a comment fitting in to that latter category, it's easy to find their numerous negative (and often heavily-downvoted) comments.
I sometimes wonder if they will ever understand why they were banned from a community, or if they will continue to blame the other 400 million Reddit users.
