That's the way I read Dave's post too. There are others... not so much.

Depends. Do you mean 'moderate moderation' as 'extremely moderate,' or as 'slightly moderate?'

I mean moderation in moderation, meaning occasionally being, um, unmoderate. Immoderate?

A moderate person can be 'loud and passionate' sometimes. Just not more often or more loudly than called-for....

I see a lot of trash-talking and talking past each other without explaining a rational basis for a given opinion or point of view on a given topic. Ad hoc attacks are about as useless as just repeating talking points without supporting them with an independently derived factual basis as if repetition is the only justification..

"Moderation in all things" is just a Sophist take on "nothing in excess."
Well some one did say moderate.
