You won't be around but the system you endorsed will cause pain for future victims you haven't considered.

  What assurances do you have that the system you endorse won't cause pain for future victims you haven't considered? If you're advocating a return to older internet status quo, I think we have solid evidence that it would cause pain.

    His system causes pain for the present and future. It is a system we know and have rejected. Another system may be worse but accepting his system assures pain for all now and in the future.

      > It is a system we know and have rejected. I think I need to know what definition you're writing from to have an opinion on that. Moderated public discourse is the rule, not the exception, in vast spaces of human communication. It's not perfect but usually good. In contrast, unfiltered bidirectional public communication can cause significant issues. It gave us 4chan and Reddit before the admins decided ad revenue was important to them.
