Welcome, everyone! Enjoy Freedom of Speech and the ability to say shit that others disagree with, where the only penalty is that people will tell you that they disagree!
How true is that? If I started bashing trump on TD, would I be banned from it like the mods would do on reddit?
That doesn't sound like "Freedom of Speech"
Depends on what you mean exactly by "bashing trump".
Saying that the resources of the United States would be better spent elsewhere that on the wall, and backing it up? Sure.
Saying that 'lol orange man bad bcz wall'? Not so much.
One is a rational discussion; the other is an attempt to prevent rational discussion.
Or to put it another way: Freedom of Speech - like all freedoms - persists only to the point where it would otherwise curtail other's Freedom of Speech.
You might read this, if you're interested in continuing this as opposed to just attempting to shut down discussion.
Freedom of speech isn't limited by your definition of rational discussion. If mods actually care about freedom of speech, they wouldn't censor criticism.
I'm not going to read a ten chapter splurging blog. If you can't consolidate it, it's probably not worth suggesting to others.
Edit: I should say, I'm not going to read it as a prerequisite to posting. I've saved it, maybe I'll read it later, maybe I won't. But if you actually care about informing people, linking that is a bad way to do it.
Ah, the classic "this issue is complex so I'm going to offer the ultimatum of either a) oversimplify it to the point I can strawman or b) say I'm right".
The issue is complex. Saying "don't be complex" does not help simplify the matter, unfortunately.
I absolutely agree; nothing I said there said that.
I have no issues with someone holding discussion - regardless of if I consider it rational.
I have every issue with someone actively trying to prevent rational discussion.
This is superficially similar to the point you appear to be arguing against, but is not the same thing.
