Disappearing threads

The fight for free speech continues.

Freedom of speech is one thing, but now freedom of expression and even freedom of opinion are threatened too. If you express your own views there will be consequences. Groupthink will result in silence.

I imagine that sounded profound in your head. But I can assure you it’s drivel.

I want to say what I want
Ok
But you cant get offended
No deal
I want free speech.
You got it.
But you won’t get offended right.
Maybe. Maybe not.
But I want to say what I want and I want you not to get offended.

Basically what you guys want is the right to say offensive shit and then control how people react to it. That’s not free speech

[ironmoth]

Profound? No. It’s a self-evident truth. And luckily, drivel is entirely subjective, so you can’t really assure me of any such thing, just like I can’t assure you that your moving of threads and categories is childish.

I suspect ironmoth doesn’t give a fuck who gets offended. That’s actually the essence of free speech, it’s good to have your opinions challenged even if you find offense. The offense is generally hind brain anyway not cerebral.

Relax. I’ve put the price of a pint behind the counter in the 51 Bar for @Rocko. I’d never sign out of here on bad terms. It wouldn’t be good juju.

You could do with relaxing mate. Ye’ve had a few days campaigning now. Ye must be tired

[ironmoth]

No, you relax. Do you ever shut that aperture?
