I like to pretend that banning a poster holding racist sentiments is mob rule too.

It's simple for our brains and convenient for our ethics because after we make the allegation, we never offer up objective or substantive evidence to support our allegations. Winner-winner, chicken-dinner.

Which may not make us cowards as we allege others are (again, lacking evidence to support it)... simply lacking the courage of our convictions.
