Moderated threads play a critical role. There are times that opposing views simply cannot be discussed civilly on one thread. People who are excluded are always able to create a new thread and sometimes that thread ends up dominating the original.

The one improvement I think would help would be to have full disclosure - i.e. have the ability for the thread participants to see who has been excluded by the moderator. It would allow the active participants to influence the moderator to reconsider his/her decision. It would also allow participants to know who does not have the ability to defend their views on the thread.
