"new age nazi", "castration filter", "almost orwellian"... talk 
about overreaction.

I think the intent of the moderator is to keep the level of 
discussions high,and have some  not to rose-tint them. I expect 
the main leaders of the D community to keep the same high 
standards, not only on the m-l, but also on other forums and 
bulletin boards, like reddit or HN. After all, it's important to 
show that we all keep an open mind.
