> They do not, in fact, believe in free speech at all. And when they appear on HN and other forums to advocate for the removal of free speech, I'll defend and advocate for free speech just the same. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what they say or think, nor does it matter how insane or infallible you believe their speech is. I'm not going to pre-emptively silence them to prepare for a world in which they hypothetically silence me. > I am asserting that its presence in our culture causes problems Sure I guess, although that seemed fairly obvious to me. A lot of things cause problems, what matters is how we deal with them. If you're not advocating for the silencing of speech that you count as "bad", then we're in agreement. This thread is about limiting free speech on social media, and I'm glad to hear you don't support that.
