I have started this new thread as the thread ViaBTC: Should we activate Segwit? is self moderated, and it attempts to manipulate the voting behaviour for a political point.

This statement is completely false. Due to a huge increase of various shills and trolls in addition to signature spammers, I have to keep all my threads self-moderated.

It appears to me to be an example of censorship and propaganda techniques that would make the author of Mein Kampf proud.

Moderation != censorship. You don't need to be an adult to understand the difference.

So I personally would vote 'yes' to a blocksize increase as this is the simplest solution.

It is not as it requires a hard fork. The quickest and best way to a capacity increase is Segwit.

As for segwit, I need to be convinced that segregated witness blocks are the simplest solution. I suspect it's benefits could be achieved simply by new transaction format types, (similar to flextrans). So at the moment I am inclined to vote 'no', but I am open to be convinced with greater technical arguments.

Flextrans is a HF. The code was riddled with bugs and likely still is. (see bluematt's comments for example). It is not as nearly as tested and reviewed as Segwit is. If you're recommending Flextrans then it is due to you not being able to be objective.

But I guess this one isn't self moderated...

It is not possible to have a healthy discussion in a normal thread due to the lack of forum moderation. He can attempt to smear SW in favor of a classic block size, but it won't work as the supermajority supports SW.
