> You don't have to be tolerant of bad ideas [...] but you do have to protect the rights of all human beings to express them Is there no limit to this? Knowing how horrible human beings can be to each other, is there really no point at which we draw the line and say, no further? Because there very much are numerous examples of where we do so according to the law. As uncomfortable as it may be, the conversation about who should be silenced must continue. For as long as we face the prospect of fellow humans encouraging their peers to harm other fellow humans for bad reasons, there is no sane alternative. It's probably something we'll have to deal with until/unless the dubious promises of transhumanism become real.

> Is there no limit to this? Knowing how horrible human beings can be to each other, is there really no point at which we draw the line and say, no further? Who said there is to be no limit? I explicitly clarified the limit: violence. Words are fine. Violence is not. > As uncomfortable as it may be, the conversation about who should be silenced must continue. Not if you want to continue having those conversations. Silencing people is a violation of their human rights, once those go out the window for a certain segment, it is simply a matter of time before that segment is bent and twisted to include you.
