I use the analogy of a living room. Not everyone gets invited over to your house, and if they do come over, not everyone gets invited back. There are boards where anything is allowed- because there is no moderator. Those boards are uniformly ugly- but if someone wants that, more power to them- but it's just silly to act as if everywhere needs to be like that. But trolls ARE silly. If they were rational, and adult, they wouldn't be trolls.

I'm glad you like the moderation here. It's very clearly spelled out in the thread header. It's not always sweetness and light here, and there are arguments, but they are not the eternal, non-productive, arguments of right versus left.
