"...while drawing out the predictable, censorious responses of so-called progressives, self-appointed thought police at NYU and elsewhere who have..." So let me get this straight. If I block you, mock you, ban you from my site, or otherwise not associate with you I'm magically blackballing you the same way a university can? Sorry, but I'm not buying this bull. This is why I really, really hate intellectuals of this stripe. They claim that it's "censorious" to do what we already do in person. I don't talk to Trump supporters in real life. Are they censored by me not engaging them? Am I magically impeding their freedom to protest, write articles, publish articles, or otherwise make their message heard by the mere act of not listening as an individual? Michael Rectenwald and company need to stop conflating the legitimate concern of institutional censorship with the non-issue of free association. So how about he and his fellow trolls get a clue and stop whining cause people don't talk to each other on Twitter or Facebook.
