Moot was also just a kid. 4chan was entirely unprecedented. He thought by quarantining the fascists to one board, they would stay there and not fan out to other websites or even other parts of 4chan.

Obviously he was wrong, but we know what we know now because of what happened to 4chan. I don't think there's anything he could have done at the time anyway because a lot of it was a coordinated effort by Stormfront.
