I don't see a valid counterargument in your response? It's ironic that, on a site where the UNIX philosophy is widely appreciated, that so many fail to appreciate the wisdom of the old quote "UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.". So too, with Alex Jones, MLK, and freedom of speech.

>I don't see a valid counterargument in your response? Yes, there is much you do not see. >UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things because that would also stop you from doing clever things. You've employed another ridiculous comparison by failing to notice that the "you" in this quote is root. Users of UNIX are every day all day prevented from doing stupid things. Try, please, to remain planted on the ground of this planet, concerned with its history.
