I'm convinced that "aggressive moderation" to achieve "peaceful inclusiveness" is contrary to limitless creativity. But, unlimited permissiveness seems to invite chaos, not to mention juvenile revilement... There's never a shortage of opinions among songwriters writing and performing for each other lol, as critiques are assumed and given.
However... Blatant stalking, "trolling" activity is hard to tolerate. Criticism just for the sake of criticism, in an effort to derail normal and cooperative site activity, while perpetually condemning the usefulness and purpose of the forum to begin with... such an "harassing campaign" isn't just discouraging, it's willfully counterproductive and anti-collaborative.
A designated public forum is usually a mature self governing balance of respectful mutual interest, and polite tolerance of opinionated pedestrian tourism. Everyone, especially songwriters, has a right to their own unique voice, but sometimes that "entitlement" gets out of hand. It goes beyond a simple "clash of personalities".
Most people try to "think ahead" and choose their battles. But, when common sense is negated by lack of impulse control, the obvious motive is a singular personal investment in combative discourse despite harmonious community involvement. The argument becomes more important than participation.
So, in an environment where the activity of the collective is dependent upon honest and tolerant freedom of speech in order to facilitate the uncensored exchange of ideas, when does moderation among consenting adults become absolutely necessary?
I'm reminded of the irony of the music industry... The target market is generally adolescents and young adults; But children aren't allowed in bars.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME HERE... CANCEL CULTURE IS ALIVE AND WELL @JPF! YOU'LL NEVER KNOW WHAT'S ALREADY BEEN DELETED...
