I'd be a terrible Moderator because I don't want to do anything unless I absolutely have to, such as if an illegal image was uploaded and the website needs to take it off immediately to appease the laws in real life. In countries where antisemitism is illegal, that has to be taken down or acted against in much the same manner.
In those cases, I see nothing wrong with addressing that with vigilence. Similarly, if a rule is a rule it probably does have to be enforced despite my misgivings or disagreement. I'd want to defer to some other Mod who's more willing to enforce that rule if possible, whilst wanting myself to specialize in acting against stuff I have no sympathies towards that is more serious in scope- in terms of it having no possible upside for the website such as users trying to do doxxing.
For me, more free speech and not less, is a feature rather than a con, because my bias is that everyone else should be just as resistant to cyberbullying tactics from others online and etc. as I am. I perhaps am insensitive and a renegade in terms of not going strictly by the book, but in having an overly expansive view of what can be permitted whilst having a more narrow vision of what definitely isn't allowed.
