I agree (with you, I mean).

Moderation helps keep an online forum from degrading into a place where people trade insults, which is great. At the same time, when threads are deleted/locked for no apparent reason or because they were maybe too controversial for the tastes of one or a few people, we start having problems.

We went through this late last year. IMO, overenthusiastic moderation has a way of being, well, immoderate, and squelching discussion.
