Then Usenet is your best bet. Many people find it difficult to have
their input moderated. You are simply expressing a preference to which

Most people tolerate moderation very poorly, but they love to see other people
with whom they disagree being silenced. Many people will choose a venue in
which they know that the allowed opinions match their own; that way anyone who
disagrees with them will be "moderated," and those who agree with them will be
left unmolested.

The problem is that many discussion venues stagnate, since nobody is willing
to discuss anything on which there might be a difference of opinion. The only
things people will discuss are the things about which they all agree already.
It gets pretty boring after a while.

The group rec.food.recipes has been moderated, healthy and around for
about a quarter century now.

Most moderated groups don't disallow disagreement, they just don't allow
posting 486 lines of old posting just to add a one word comment or
rebuttles to postings with content free ad hominems.

Most moderated groups would eventually ban you not because of the content
of your posts at first, but because your posts are normally carefully
crafted to **** people off and be disruptive in the long run.
