   @lain I agree in the sense that free association is the superior principle here, but with one caveat that I simply do not think the current hypocrisy of "we can't be expected to be responsible for user content, it's impossible without drastic measures!", and then proceeding to heavily curate user content anyway should be tolerated. Within the context of the state and legal system being here and probably being here for the foreseeable future, I expect and demand consistency.

      @lain Within the metaphors of free association, if someone goes to your backyard, sets up a catapult and starts lobbing rocks at the neighbors, you can expect to get some grief from the neighbors. If you have a reasonable explanation, such as that you are alone, it's a big backyard and were on vacation and could not have possibly noticed and stop the catapult before it started throwing rocks, then I expect they would understand. But if you have a large staff, security cameras everywhere and in the same time period you've expelled tens of people who weren't setting up catapults in your yard, then I think it's not unreasonable to start thinking maybe you should be held responsible for allowing the catapult guy to setup on your land.

         @lain In the end, probably the best outcome from applying this principle is that such large estates that cannot be easily patrolled and kept free from unwanted intruders with catapults become more onerous to own than they're otherwise worth due to the risks they expose the owner to, which comes back to favorizing decentralization.
