Yeah, not many people enjoy watching someone rant about the evils of Zorblox or whatever their personal soap box is, but we have a mute function and a flag function.
Free speech is not a right. It is a privilege. Inviting an oversight committee boils down to you surrendering that privilege over to them and saying "I'm not enough of a responsible adult to have this. Keep it away from me."

Free speech is a right. Having free speech in this site and on a block chain is a privilege.
