The biggest shit shows I've seen on the Internet are the ones that lack strong moderation by either admins or users. No contest.

If you want thoughtful discussion you aren't getting it sans opinionated moderation. And if your goal truly is thoughtful conversation, you should be able to challenge even your greatest "opponent" tactfully without getting muted. If not, that probably wasn't your primary goal tbh.
