I think that there doesn't have to be a choice between anarchy and a police
state.  I think that it is possible to form communities where people surrender
some autonomy via a system of rules that they agree to.

I think that it is fine to have moderators who have the authority to yank posts
and accounts.

I don't think that it is true that rules, and representatives elected to enforce
them, will result in endemic abuse by these representatives.

I still feel that this place serves a purpose and should continue to exist until
it isn't necessary that it exist anymore.  I think that the system of elected
moderators is an improvement over what went before.
