I see. I disagree with people for good reason and when I do I am not obliged to support them. This post reminds me of an old Frank Herbert line:
“When I am weaker than you I ask you for freedom because that is according to your principles; when I am stronger than you I take away your freedom because that is according to my principles”
This quote characterizes the results of every online tolerance movement for almost 10 years. I’m surprised we haven’t learned our lesson yet.
