While I agree with you, I think you're misapplying the principle. We
*should* discourage the LCD approach, but with the intention of raising
the standard not lowering it. Too much of the internet is already devoted
to showing that anarchy is not a good mechanism for producing erudite
discussion, so if people want that they're not exactly short of options.
For instance, RTL is a venue that allows, even encourages, completely
free expression. If you can't post within reasonable bounds then perhaps
RTL is more your cup of tea than LugNet is?
