Maybe they're learning along the way, albeit risking charges of flip flopping.

This strikes me as a "paradox of tolerance" situation.

I don't believe in Neo-Nazi's but I do believe they have the right to march and publish books, websites, etc. That's called free speech. I believe someone should be able to not agree with trans, or gays, or anything else... and they should be allowed to have their opinions.

So here, I'm just against censorship. I understand it's a private website and they are free to enforce their moderation and rules as they see fit... I'm simply pointing out that once you start letting the mob decide who gets on, who gets off, who's allowed and who's not -- instead of rules that are enforced blindly and fairly, then it's only a matter of time until the enforcement is changed at the whims of whomever is in control or is popular.
