That's a very thin line between moderation and censorship. When in doubt about which is which, think if if obeys freedom of speech or not.
Deleting a comment because it is insulting a person is moderation. Deleting a comment because you don't like it, it doesn't conform to your views or you find it outrageous, silly, inflammatory, false, fake is censorship.

"Obeys freedom of speech"? What does that mean? Particularly, what does it mean outside the US? I don't think Scott's definitions are great, but they're at least cutting across the right axis.
