Not what I said. If you care about speech, try to be careful about parsing, interpreting, and summarizing it. If something still doesn't make sense, try asking questions.
- slibhb 5y agoIt's exactly what you said. I took your dissembling and accurately reproduced its message in one sentence. > More precisely: ideas are powerful, which means they can be dangerous. > Anyone who doesn't understand that is actually a deeper enemy of discourse than a platform owner who says their forum is not a venue for topic X or opinion Y. In order to have REAL FREE SPEECH (which you call DISCOURSE) we have to CENSOR BAD OPINIONS. No. Stop playing whack-a-mole with "bad ideas". "X idea leads to Y bad thing" is almost always wrong, the world is chaotic, no one knows the result of a tweet, and people who claim to are just looking for excuse to shut down debates they're afraid to have.
