Some people do think it's moral high ground to be able to push a button and censor someone who says something that they don't like. They won't admit it and it's indefensible, but most people aren't ok with something that they consider to be immoral.

You literally admitted earlier in this topic that there were decent arguments to this "indefensible" approach.

Yes, for the example you gave in a restaurant of a patron calling the owner a prick. Because it might be assault, or might escalate into violence. It's a weird scenario and it seems most likely that the patron would be on their way out anyways if they were calling the owner a prick. The example certainly doesn't transfer well to gamefaqs, where SBAllen is in no danger of violence if some random 500 miles away calls him a prick. It's not something I care about being censored so much though because of it's lack of insight. I would still say it's at least slightly immoral to censor it, because who fucking cares if someone calls you a prick on the internet, ignore them and grow thicker skin.
