I've seen more mess in response to your entirely unwelcoming manner than
ever in response to anything you call "off topic" in some of your
examples.

That might be a valid concern if your notion of "off topic" didn't
include things that pretty much everyone else seems to think is on topic
enough to fit into this list.

1. When moderation is increased, so too are false positives -- like
removing statements of opinion that shouldn't be removed.

2. Your idea of "off topic" seems to include stuff relevant to FreeBSD.
