In my opinion, such "moderating" as has been done in recent years by 
IETF leadership has contributed to making the IETF a considerably more 
toxic place.   A community in which dissenting views are suppressed, or 
in which the leadership believes it has the right to squash criticism, 
cannot credibly claim that it is a consensus-making body.
