> Life rarely involves absolute truths but some people refuse to acknowledge this. The way this is phrased sounds like absolute relativism: no truth really exists, everything is relative, every opinion is as relevant as any other. This is a dangerous perspective, and often used to give too much focus to fringe opinions that do not merit that much attention. Your username is waihtis on hn, 2+2 is 4 in mainstream mathematics, not true equals false in boolean logic, and the sun will rise tomorrow are all truths. People arguing against these truths better have a compelling argument, or they can be safely ignored. That is not censorship, but a thoughtful use of our time. Aka, you are free to speak your mind, but you are not entitled to people listening. No one owes a platform to fringe opinions because of free speech.
