No, look: you cannot take chunks of posts when they are not semantically isolated, there is no «new» position, it is the same expressed more verbosely:

it was "Protect[ing people] from themselves[? ... Certainly[], because society has consequences over the individual".

It means, "no, it is not a good idea to let them be liabilities: the consequences fall on you".

You see that the point is not plainly "protecting people from themselves", and the closest cone of interpretations of that, right?

> Be aware they will

An where is the problem? That is duly! Society is based on reciprocal interaction AND correction! Of course everybody is supposed to contribute.
