Oh... I see. For some reason you've been led to believe that "free speech" means "l can say whatever I want without consequences".
Id get that if I was calling people faggots, niggers, kike. Right? But dont ask, Why?
Thats not what they are saying. In the context of a public forum with a moderator group, the mods primary goal should be to not interfere with any speech options whatsoever. Minimal touch approach.
Idgaf about op or his points, but active power abuse for personal bias isn't conducive to a true free speech platform.
This is the point
This is just an opinion. Others might hold different ones.
I'm convinced there is a specific type of person that is always attempting to push the limits of all human decency and engage in negative interaction for the main purpose of simply bringing negativity into the world. These sort of people very often, after being pushed back on, retort with claims related to "free speech". I've decided I'm caring less and less regarding "free speech" for people who only use it to bring negative words, claims and emotions into the world.
If those sort of people want to have true "free speech" then let them build their own garden and not spend their lives shitting up the gardens of other people.
I'm not saying OP is this sort of person. But I am saying that these sort of claims are often nade by this sort of person.
The issue with that sentiment, no matter how true, is in its personal bias of perception. Leftists say the same thing.
When they came for the Republicans I did not speak up....
