If Talk becomes moderated/censured, where would that be?
Wouldn't it better to create specific, on-topic moderated lists (and
moderate the existing ones) rather than moderating "Talk", whose topic is
not obvious?

Then people who don't want the noise can just turn it off, while leaving a
place of "free speech", and topic-focused lists would be sane...
