I use my spine to stand up to this regressive and harmful attitude.

It may very well be 'regressive' -- in the sense that it regresses back to before some of the public went essentially limp, to before political correctness comes before natural human rationale in people's pattern of thinking, it regresses back to relative normalcy instead of ridiculousness.
Please sit down.
I use mine to stand up for free speech. Who does this harm exactly? Who is the victim, specifically?
What does this have to do with free speech? You're allowed to say what you want, and I'm allowed to close the tab and not read it.
Of course you can close the tab, but I find attempts at censorship like this regressive and harmful.
This is hyperbole. There is no attempt at censorship here. No one has disallowed anyone to view anything.

If you think a critical comment qualifies as an attempt at censorship, then by the same logic, your own comments are an attempt to censor the OP.
