OK, let's test this. This site banning pro-abortion would be OK? My point is the left is fine banning the right on moral grounds, but if the right bans the left then it's bigotry, free speech suppression, and a different set of morals. Of course the inverse is also true (right gladly bans the left). It's all hypocrisy - that's what I'm calling out.

Why's that a problem? And, most assuredly, I am on the left. Edit: and an example comment of mine from 2 years ago where I assert that the right to reject people/speech from a private group is just as important as the right to free speech https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15420491 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15420491 .
