Of course not. And its arguable that Reddit is more like a crowded theatre and not a public place; thus hollering 'fire!' or trolling racistly not acceptable/safe.

But its also true we should hold even private organizations to some standard, and supporting free speech in principle is a core American value.

In the end I guess I'm on the side of "too little friction there; too likely to incide a riot" for these public forums. I come down on the side of some kind of moderator.
