There's a large segment of HN that doesn't get the same abuse online that women or minorities get so they think that everything digital should be a free-for-all, so you're getting downvoted by them for supporting moderation of publicly accessible online spaces. I agree with you. There is no expectation that someone should be able to say whatever they want in in-game chat. If people really want to do that, they're free to create their own game and accompanying chat infrastructure.

The reason that what Microsoft did is so horrendous is that they're banning people from the chat infrastructure that individual servers owners are running themselves. Or are you saying that if you don't want to be censored, it's not enough that you run your own chat server, but that you write all of the code from scratch for it too?
