Ironic considering the author supports the same code for rebuking other people talking in ways he/she doesn't approve. Free speech is an either or, the moment you introduce conditions, be prepared for that to be used against you one day. Sad part is that the author still doesn't seem to understand this fact.
And I understand that free speech guarantees in the law are concerning the government. But I believe private citizens and organizations must also uphold the basic principles of free expression, otherwise it doesn't work.
- Barrin92 6y agoBasic principles of free expression are fine, as is conducting yourself in an expected manner at a private gathering. Which is why the author, very correctly, does not throw out the code of conduct wholesale which would be a giant strawman. The issue here is absolute mistreatment of the person in question and horrible leadership on behalf of the people who organise this conference.
