Trolls fundamentally have just as much right to say what they want as anyone else. If a board has a large influx of trolls, it's certainly unfortunate for all the non-trolls, but no one's free speech is actually being abridged.
You can choose to post to a board full of trolls, or you can choose not to. "Free speech" does not guarantee a right to a friendly audience.
The most appropriate response to this post would be to troll you. But I'll save you to experience, you'll realize one day there seems to be an agenda for what some trolls attack and what they accept.
In large enough numbers moderators aren't necessary, especially on high traffic boards like subreddits or image boards like the Chan's.
Post spiritual metaphysical stuff, five trolls assault your post and no one else is going to deal with it if they know they'll get attacked and trolled.
Seriously, reality isn't so simple, controlling content isn't so hard.
