This is pretty snarky.

  No more so than the original comment's presumption that "people who have previously come out against cancel culture and deplatforming" only care about the issue as some kind of tribal marker. I don't want to defend tit-for-tat snark, but it's super frustrating to see people making snide remarks about this issue even as it starts to affect their own beliefs.

    Not snide at all. They're only principles if we defend them when it's hardest to do so.

      I'm (the "snarky" comment) a man of the left who has been appalled by the use of free speech suppression tactics over the last few years by my supposed political fellow travellers to intimidate those on the right, and like many others have persistently and continuously challenged them in defence of those I sometimes disagree fundamentally with. So yes, they are principles deeply held and I'm not about to take any implications (intended or not) from your original comment they are not. FWIW
