Why do we moderate comments?

Dear newspaper,

I recently posted a well-elocuted and thoughtful comment…I was very rudely informed, “Your comment has been queued for moderation by site administrators and will be published after approval.” Do you not trust your readers to make insightful and constructive criticisms? Well, if I ran this so-called newspaper, I would put more thought into the reader who is your business and source of income hence your life.

P.S.: Love what you’re doing. Keep it up.
