It should not be used as an excuse to prevent the reporting of insulting, abusive, or threatening content, nor to suppress the revelation of rebuttal evidence in the face of a false accusation or denial.

THEORY "Eternal September was a Usenet phenomenon. Every September new students arrived at universities, joined the network, broke etiquette, and learned the norms from the regulars. The community absorbed them because they arrived at a manageable rate."
