I see it more like he came to an open park, set up a box to stand on, handed pout headphones connected to his mic and stared preaching. The difference to your analogy being anyone shouting can be ignored without the loss of hearing the presenter. It isn't the same as a group shouting the speaker down, because here, everyone can hear the speaker regardless of the crowd cheering or jeering. So to selectively removing those who are against you is BS. Would you argue it was acceptable for a sub owner to remove users who were on topic, arguing coherently, just because a few of their words were offensive; or that their overall message was against the board? This isn't a place where shouting matches win out, and no board should be privy to some exclusion of discussion they do not like.

It really depends on the board. General boards like politics, news, and gaming? Fuck no. Boards for a specific group or show or interest? Sure. Like if you went to v/traditionalwives and said "being a traditional wife is fucking retarded, fuck you traditional wives" and they banned you would I be butthurt over it? No, good on them for protecting the waifus. But if you went to v/politics and said that and they banned you would I be upset? Fuck yeah and fuck that kind of censorship.

I suppose I disagree. If your example were to be the case, it would behoove TW to instead choose to engage the user and convince them otherwise, or simply ignore them. In the grand scheme of things, a simple comment or post does not affect them. Commentary, opposite opinions, or even simple language offensives are not grounds for dismissal. It would be different if someone was actually spamming, like multiple submissions of pictures of porn or links to a scam website etc. But that isn't what is happening. Someone coming to a sub and saying, I disagree with you and I think you are an XYZ because of it, isn't something that should be banned. Even if it is overtly a parody, or offensive on purpose. That is wrong and antithetical to the foundations of this site.
They come here and make their own space argument is BS, because all spaces on this site are an open forum, and are subject to the principles of an open forum. If they want some closed space, they can PM to their heart's content.
