Suppression of opinion was the realm of dictatorship et al

Now it is the realm of HN

That's not to say I have a better way forward, but I don't think it is good to shutdown difficult conversations to appease the most offended -- that is arguably the group that should have least sway over discussion

But by empowering 'flaggers' and 'downvoters' we give them the most control...

To be clear: by most offended I mean most easily offended, and hence presumably least able to hold sensible and open conversation
