There were some who cried censorship at the most Peter Damian's moderation, but 
I for one cried out that there were too few people moderated.  I don't why you 
are equating moderation with banning. Moderation should be taken more lightly 
than banning at least. You seem to be using them interchangeably above.  There 
are people  on my ignore list who consistently and over a period of many years 
send egrarious personal attacks to the list and troll the naive and the 
flustered.  And like everyone who contributes to this list, they also send other 
messages to the list that are useful or contribute a perspective that would 
otherwise be absent from the list. They should definitely not be banned, but it 
is clear that trolling and personal attacks do not bring about moderation.
