>Some of us are actually interested in truth, which cannot be obtained if one perspective is irrationally forbidden as taboo. A thousand times this. If the taboo'd claims are false, then the other side should welcome discussion and scientific experimentation, as that will further prove the taboo'd claims false. Suppose a group of people claim the sky is actually brown, not blue. Suppose academics and governments respond harshly, silencing all such people and banning all attempts to determine the color of the sky. This would have the exact opposite of the intended effect, it would make people wonder what's up with the blue-skyers' irrational behavior, and it would make people wonder what the blue skyers are trying to hide. Instead, let the brown-skyers talk and let them perform their experiments, and it will become manifestly clear that they are mistaken!
