> There is a great moderation tool for such a discussion: not to have it

Do you honestly think the situation improves if the discussion is censored here? Whether you like it or not these industry discussions, and much worse, are happening elsewhere and censoring relatively timid discussions like this only makes matters worse. There are 490 comments at the time of this post and I'd bet the vast majority of them are relatively benign.

Absolutely. Respectable media platforms and discussion forums have always "censored" some topics (if by that you mean that they've chosen to exercise their freedom of speech to choose what they deem worthy of publication); that's precisely the one thing that separates them from unrespectable ones. Right now there are a lot of discussions going on about blacks or Jews, but that doesn't mean a respectable forum should lend the subject legitimacy by hosting it.
