I can understand how someone might interpret "private" as private. However, I can understand even more easily how everyone should know that nothing on the internet is truly private.
As far as free speech and moderating go - I think there will never be a middle ground upon which everyone can agree. Private rights vs the Greater Good is always a good topic for debate. That's why for every one person who thinks it's his right to have a junk car sitting in his front yard, there's another person who's angry his own property value plummets because of it.
Civilization is a give and take between personal rights and the will of the community. Everyone has their own idea of the perfect balance between the two - but very few people agree on exactly where that line is drawn.
