content moderation. You might disagree with Max Boot on which content should be moderated (probably because you see your preferred content as being moderated by his subjective desires), but you agree on the basic notion that content should be moderated.

Also, no one is disputing that the board or website owners gets to make these decisions. The interesting thing to me, with all the buzz about Twitter this week, is how many people have lined up in favor of Musk's fight to free one-sided Twitter moderation but are just fine with pickle having been banned for basically three months now.

I mean, these are ridiculously subjective rules:

Profanity other than hell or damn will not be permitted.
Neither will shjt, f*ck, or my personal favorite FLICK OFF.
Calling someone stupid is fine providing there are examples or evidence and the post includes an articulated opposing view.
Posts that say only "urine idiot" or "why are you stupid" will be removed.

And this is based on your subjective take:

I would not allow trolls like JG, ace and pinkle. They contribute nothing, they don't attempt to contribute but rather to "win" a battle of half wits with those willing to crawl into the gutter to engage them, or scream "LOOK AT ME" by posting incendiary tripe and irrelevant crap that they don't necessarily believe or care about.

Is winning on a message board something that shouldn't be pursued? It seems like a worthy goal in a battle of ideas.

You are the other side of the coin from Max Boot.
