That was before someone on Twitter's best addition to the conversation was to call me "a caribou diaper baby" ... which while a very creative insult ... is pretty ridiculous conduct.

I agree the government regulating speech is a fine line. We don't need real information being suppressed, but we also need a way (with checks and balances) to shut people that are entirely full of shit (or people that if the Internet was a real establishment would be kicked out for being deranged and unhinged) up.

I think the concept you're looking for is that moderation is different from censorship.
