I admit that my wording is not good here, please let me rephrase it:
Instead of "thread would have died out rather quickly" read it as
"the flame-war part of the thread would have died out rather quickly"

What I tried to stress with my replies is, that there is no censorship, in 
contrast to a forced slow-down.

Imagine you are angry, but may only say one sentence per hour. A verbal fight 
should be harder, than it is in the world as we know it.
My own interpretation of what Roy wanted is, that he knew personal "Please 
calm down everyone"-mails don't help, and therefore he wanted to force people 
to do so, by delaying the thread for 24 hours.
This is not censoring, to my eyes, rather call it "de-escalation" or whatever 
you like best.
