Moderation exists to identify and exclude people who are being absolute cocks.

You don't need any grand philosophical statement about values. You don't need to defend the paradox of tolerance against absolutist demands for unrestricted expression. It's perfectly fine to say: you were doing some diet Nazi shit, that's awful, fuck off.

We already heard the terrible arguments for intolerance and don't need to rehash it over and over again in every new piece of media.
