"I did not want to make a call to tolerate such behavior, but realistically
it cannot be completely prevented in open channels,"

channels in this sentence to mean that open, as opposed to proprietary,
channels cannot include moderation (I did not suggest that open source
*tools* were unable to include moderation tools).
