while others of us figure that the practical thing is to stop bad stuff at whatever stage is most effective.

You're only stopping bad stuff if it's something like a threat - in other words, a declaration of intent. I can't imagine thinking it is appropriate to "sock" somebody for a dissenting opinion. Surely this is how the Inquisition, or Stalin's U.S.S.R, was justified.

I guess you wouldn't complain if I hit you for expressing these opinions.
