It is easier to just silence people by labeling them, then to ask them to justify their logical axioms.
Kind of like when your arguments are dismissed due to being called a LARPer, or being told that all the womyn here just need to calm down, while having all our valid points ignored. I guess it's convenient to pull that one out when you're clearly losing the argument.
The hypocrisy here is laughable.
Quote:My point is, you can't always objectively know what is negative and positive, so thinking you can prune a discussion of negativity by deplatforming anyone you disagree with is narcissism in the extreme.
And yet, who has been deplatformed here? No one has been booted out.
We all agreed to partcipate in a moderated forum. I don't understand what the big surprise here is? Bring 4th is associated with a non-profit organisation that has certain responsibilities. They have every right as an organisation to chose what they associate with, what they allow on the online infrastructure they've built.
There are plenty of totally free spaces on the internet that aren't monitored at all. I'm glad they exist, but I wouldn't hang there, like most people wouldn't, and we all know why.
