It should be kept in mind but it also needs to be kept in check otherwise people will come in and scream about it in order to divide the userbase, attacks mods, control the channels of speech. The only people who would be against feeling out the right balance would be people who are either extremely free speech or anti-free speech. You're going to have to ignore the polar extremes and make some common sense stuff and then stick with it, saving your responses to such discussions when someone finally makes a good point for you to consider. Ignore everything else.

Yeah I came off a bit too strongly there. Although this was a pretty minor infraction. Regardless I think it was handled appropriately.
I definitely see where you're coming from about the Reddit level of rules. But I'm also tired of people losing their mind when any basic rule is enforced.
