When someone hijacks a forum for discussion, suppresses free discourse, and begins silencing/banning people from discussing the policy it becomes very apparent that their ideals are counter to free speech.
The short term outcome of this particular sub should be irrelevant to the decision. At the end of the day this is a forum for free speech. Like what someone has to say or not they are entirely entitled to say what they want. You're also entitled to ignore or refute what they say. But when an entity takes the specific action of suppressing discourse we all are worse for it.
I don't care what happens to the sub in particular. But this attempt at suppression is what needs to be dealt with. Anyone caught intentionally trying to subvert the ideals of free speech needs to be removed from any level of authority. Let the individual dictate what content they want to or don't want to see
