#5488·Benjamin Davies, 1 day ago#4460 says moderation aims to preserve productive, truth-seeking discussion. Being free to avoid someone does not show that excluding them helps that goal. A valuable contributor might advocate elsewhere an idea that has pending criticisms on Veritula, without affecting Veritula or its members. Banning them would sacrifice useful contributions without protecting any discussion. Off-platform conduct should count only when it burdens Veritula or its members.

If they’re valuable, mods can take that into account when making a decision. Since multiple warnings would be given first, it’s not like we’d suddenly lose valuable members left and right.
