Policies against {uncivil interactions | personal attacks | harassment | abuse | spam | denial of service} all of these in their most fundamental form, are vectors for language & behavioural control. People who desire to control the language & behaviours of others will be drawn to occupy such positions of control, whilst those that don't want said control due to personal beliefs will not seek out such positions. Overall, their existence creates structures for authoritarian influences, as well as mechanisms for ostracization & self-censorship. No person should ever be in charge of it. More explicitly: you're 100% right that I want to control the behavior of others. On HN, I agree with most of the HN rules that expel speech from this space that does not contribute to the mods ideas of a good, healthy, productive discussion. It is civilized.
