The Case for Shunning ⇒

Is there nothing anybody would say that would cause you to cease your association with them? If so, then what you are is not a proponent of free speech, but lazy amorality.

This article is very quotable, but i’ll go with that, because it feels like it gets to the heart of it. People like Scott Adams will immolate themselves, and then talk about the consequences of their actions in terms of free speech, all the while ignoring the actual attacks on free speech happening all around us.

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
