Yeah I know it's a private conference, but it says something that people can't tolerate views they disagree with.

- twoodfin 11y agoFree expression is a cultural value. The value is way more important than the Constitution and laws that embody it. Funny way for this to finally make the front page. I'm not sure I buy that this is the work of Marxists or the connection to Donglegate. But very curious to hear how HN sees the situation. Unfortunately, one side effect of this kind of "no platforming" is that it legitimately leads to concern about whether people feel free to openly assert their opinions. EDIT: Well, I guess I won't be able to hear about it, since this post has been flag-killed. Really strange that HN seems determined not to discuss this. As I said in an earlier post that got buried, this should be in our wheelhouse. urbit has been actively and approvingly discussed here previously, with Yarvin's participation. Should those posts have been flag-killed?
- RichardZBrookes 11y agoApparently someone at YC un-killed it. I'm new here, but I had posted replies to some of the comments on the blog attached to the post here, and now I've duplicated them here.
