Your estimation of what constitutes a ‘moderate person’ is an opinion rather than a quantifiable point of reference.
I don’t think you can define what are reasonable boundaries for what is effectively freedom of speech based on such an arbitrary marker. To try to create some kind of sticky reminder based on what one sector of our Millersmad community consider to be acceptable/unacceptable smacks of an attempt to limit free speech.
Of course, anything written that is illegal has to be censured but, beyond that, I don’t see a need to muzzle what people want to say.
To be clear, I do not say this as an anti-woke, right wing apologist. Much of what gets said on here in that vein is anathema to me. However, whether or not I find it distasteful, I would always defend the writer’s entitlement to express a view.
My solution is simply to avoid reading certain posters (and often not because of the opinion they are likely to express but because they often seem to say the same thing repeatedly - ad nauseam!)
I’m more than happy to hear a range of views on here - whether or not they’re football related. I would prefer not to curtail opinion just because it doesn’t agree with my own.
