Comment on When Librarians Are Silencedparent

I think the argument centers around the idea that hatespeech should be banned, or something.

I don't care: I know where I stand. Free speech is a good thing, even with sites like 4chan, and if you don't wish people to speak freely within a website or location, make the rules for what they can say known ahead of time, and enforce them fairly.

I specifically didn't state my opinion on the matter here, because it's irrelevant: I'm only highlighting the inconsistency of "left"'s position. Your position doesn't have this inconsistency and therefore, is much more logical.

I don't know about my position not being left. I mean, I am pretty left. I think the difference is, I'm not insane, so you don't hear my position on the nightly news. There are as many crazy leftists are there are crazy rightists: the trick is to avoid both.
