Whatever it is, if a liberal does it, then it's alright.

Now, if the government tried to keep a book from being published, that would be a violation of the first amendment.

Would you have the same non judgemental opinion of a letter demanding publishers not deal with filthy black people?

Originally posted by Stoic View PostIt's embarrassing to find that your attempt to shut down freedom of speech in the name of freedom of speech has been exposed, isn't it?
No, but my objection would be to the racism, rather than to an attempt to suppress free speech.
So, if you want to accuse me of shutting down speech, you should show it.
Besides, as per your own standards, I, a private citizen cannot shut down freedom of speech, only the government can (with few exceptions) .
If you think I fall into one of your exceptions you should show that.Last edited by CivilDiscourse; 10-29-2022, 12:43 PM.

I agree with what Stoic wrote at post #6.
That's not supporting free speech, that's supporting censorship. Of course, you're also free to spin that any way you want.

It supports people's right to protest. It does not follow that their request/demand will acknowledged or implemented."It ain't necessarily so
