Lack of moderation isn't "freedom" for all, though: it simply empowers those with the fewest compunctions to bully and harass others off the site through informal means.

Right. And if we're going to talk about the social value of free expression, that has to include consideration of how certain unconstructive behaviors undermine that value. And how people may go out of their way to defend those unconscrutive behaviors if they serve to push people out of conversations with whom they disagree.
