MODERATORS
Seem fairly sound and self evident. Obviously there can be disagreements on judgement, but I can't think of an scenario where the greater evil should not be opposed.
There is no such thing as good or evil. There's only the things that make us feel good and things that do not. For some people, the things that make them feel good are also things that make others feel good; but there's a lot of people who only feel good by causing others to feel bad.
The only thing that matters is balancing what makes you feel better with the things that make the people you rely on feel better.
