A thought experiment: you have a group chat, irc or XMPP or whatever. There are a few dozen people or so in the group (doesn't really matter the number), it's a technical discussion about programming... <whatever> - some collaborative open source project. By your standards, is it censorship to kick ban a troll(s) that keeps joining the chat, talks totally off topic bullshit, disrupting actual productive conversation/work ? Also, please don't pretend I'm arguing for moderation on cypherpunks - I'm not, I never have, and I think it's an awful fit for this list.
