Vigilance is certainly one, but civility is the other. Pinkboard has been a place where people have generally been able to express opinions that may not be popularly held. However the expression of such opinions has often led to personal abuse and other incivilities. The perpetrators have then refused all but the most drastic attempts to moderate their debate and steer it back into civility. They further argue that such attempts are removing their right of freedom of speech.
Rights come with responsibilities .
The right to freedom of speech comes with the responsibility to behave civily. On Pinkboard freedom of speech will be allowed up to the point at which its expression becomes uncivil. Because of the previous uncivil behaviour of certain people this will be enforced by moderating certain parts of Pinkboard. Postings will be read before being published and uncivil messages will be rejected. Often humour or sarcasm is used to illustrate a point.
