>I do not agree that blanket censorship without contextual understanding is the right way to do things.

I don't agree with it either, but it's impossible to do this at scale without hiring a large number, relative to community size, to be full time paid moderators. We have to accept the reality that these free communities need automation in order to maintain order, or else they would cost lots of money.

This is a straw man and I'm not going to address it. You know exactly what I'm talking about.
