You first said it is your right to protect people from themselves. This new different position is more reasonable. Sure, go ahead, protect yourself from others. Be aware they will protect themselves from you too, on the exact same arguments.

No, look: you cannot take chunks of posts when they are not semantically isolated, there is no «new» position, it is the same expressed more verbosely:

it was "Protect[ing people] from themselves[? ... Certainly[], because society has consequences over the individual".

It means, "no, it is not a good idea to let them be liabilities: the consequences fall on you".

You see that the point is not plainly "protecting people from themselves", and the closest cone of interpretations of that, right?

> Be aware they will

An where is the problem? That is duly! Society is based on reciprocal interaction AND correction! Of course everybody is supposed to contribute.
