The issue with this viewpoint is that you're correct - but not accounting for all the areas where other humans will hold a similar opinion about a less clear-cut issue. Abortion, 2A, etc.
I want anyone who talks openly about wanting to commit murder or having others do so, to be banned. But I have to recognize others will abuse that, calling abortion murder under all circumstances and silence any women's group that discusses such things.
The solution isn't an easy one. Personally, I'd be happier in a world with "No Politics" or "Everything (that isn't clearly illegal) goes" as the only options so as to avoid leveraging a tremendously powerful platform as a weapon.
- jessaustin 8y agoI want anyone who talks openly about wanting to commit murder or having others do so, to be banned. Sounds good, but this will be difficult. On lots of discussion sites (HN fortunately excluded, so far), advocating for the military invasion of various nations is like 60% of the comments.
- Proziam 8y agoThis right here is why I personally think that an open forum is the best way. Some people think war isn't murder, some do. Sadly, it just ends up being another 'edge case' in this context. At the end of the day, for people to have the opportunity to explain why war might be a "not totally awesome" idea you've gotta let people discuss it - despite my personal desires.
