Having rules against certain content means you are not a platform for "unfettered free speech". That's not some sort of moralistic slur it's just a fact that runs contrary to the post I was responding to. It's not "against the concept of free speech" to run a platform with censorship/moderation, it just means your platform isn't a place to practice it.

The phrase “unfettered free speech” only appears in the comments here and not in the article. I can also make up stuff he could have said but didn’t. As far as I know, he didn’t advocate for changing the name of Myanmar back to Burma, so that’s an indicator that he supported military-run governments? That being said, if you’re not willing to host me and my friends’ tentacle porn libraries, you’re not an advocate for free speech at all, so what are we actually talking about here?

    Oh okay. Here, I’m going to say “Lowtax was a huge fan of K-Pop”. Since now that’s been posted, you can accept it as fact and argue that you went through his post history and give me your thoughts.

      ??? The analogous response would be "no he wasn't, what are you talking about". You're going after the wrong person here.

        What exactly are you trying to have a discussion with me about? Edit: it’s wrong of me for uh, responding?
        Dylan16807 5y ago
        You're harassing someone for basically saying "your mention of 'unfettered free speech' is off topic". While acting like the person that said that is the one that brought up 'unfettered free speech'. You are wrong to do that.

        I made an equally arbitrary comment to the one you responded to. To save time, Why are you responding to my posts? Do you have any personal opinions about Rich Kyanka? If so, do you care to share? If not, am I expected to debate your position? If so, (again because I don’t know why you’re responding) what exactly is your opinion on this topic aside from… not liking what I said?

        You posted a bunch of flamewar comments in this thread. We ban accounts that do that. Would you please review the site guidelines and use this site in the intended spirit going forward? I'm not going to ban you right now, but you've been doing this repeatedly, unfortunately: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29022715 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29022715 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28970746 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28970746 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28969532 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28969532 Posting like that will definitely get you banned if you keep it up, so please fix this. Btw, I suppose I should mention in a thread about SA that this isn't some sort of ethical or moral requirement. We just have those rules because we're trying to be a particular kind of website, and we need to do something about the sorts of posts that impede that. https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html

    So how do I move my tentacle porn collection to your personal website? SFTP? Git? Rsync? I would love to hear your position on free speech

I’m still waiting on your publicly accessible upload portal for tentacle porn. At this point, your reticence to give me access to your personal website’s storage has crossed from censorious to violating the non-agression policy. It’s quite telling that you’re aggressively anti-free speech.
