That would certainly be unfortunate, but it's a publicly known and 
measurable risk on a public, unmoderated list.  However, if the list 
were to become moderated (especially according to your vague criteria) 
then the community would lose the set of evidence they need most (i.e., 
the moderated content) to argue in the other direction.  In practice, 
admins who feel the need to moderate are _extremely_ averse to 
meta-discussions about the guidelines, which makes things even worse.

But even with well-considered, clear moderation guidelines, the very act 
of removing content of a user on the Tor talk list in the current 
wide-net surveillance climate... well, I suppose it could decrease the 
number of button presses in your MUA.  But in the larger scheme I have 
no doubt the conspiracy theories you find unpleasant would not only 
proliferate widely but also focus their sights on Tor's tyrannical and 
hypocritical campaign of online censorship.  If it's a choice between 
that and you fulfilling a fantasy of Valhalla burning to the ground at 
your immolation, then the good news is that you only have to press one 
more button.

Even if it is the only one that contains "Tor talk", if it ceases to have any content related to its intended purpose, I have no reason to stay subscribed.  If I want unsubstantiated accusations and wild theories, I'll read YouTube comments or watch Fox News.
