The goal of moderation is to improve the quality of open discourse intervening only when absolutely necessary.
It should not be used as a tool to censor open and on topic debate.
I realize moderators have to juggle many different hats and deal with a lot of flack. The purpose of this post is mearly to voice my discontent with this particular judgement call as this episode appears to have crossed the line into censorship.
Hard working and well meaning moderators can make mistakes in the heat of the moment especially when dealing with provocative posters like Anonymint. It is the responsibility of the community to call them out when that happens.
