“It's our position that everyone may use their freedom of speech for any purpose except to limit others' freedom of speech.”

How does this square with someone commenting then blocking replys?

Is the right of reply not part of free speech?

You can say what you want. People also dont have to listen to you if they dont want to.

That is obviously their right, but blocking them from responding is denying the right of everyone else to hear what they say. The block should only affect the view of the blocker.

It dosent stop them from their say, they can still make their own post. You cant force people to listen to you.

You should have the ability to block them from your view, but not to block them from everyone else. Just because you don’t want to see a particular comment doesn’t mean that you should have the right to prevent me from seeing it.
