Am I being unclear here? I don't believe in free speech. It's an inconsistent, dogmatic belief except as a legal principle, and governments purporting to honor that legal principle almost never respect it when they feel threatened by speech. I'm not claiming a moral high ground here. I'm exercising my speech, and I fully accept the consequences of my speech. It is precisely that my speech has consequences that makes it worth exercising.

No, I think you're being perfectly clear.

I, and many others, find your disbelief in free speech threatening (frankly, this attitude scares the hell out of me).

That would make it okay for us to prevent you from speaking in public or holding gainful employment? Yes? No? If not, why not?

His attitude frightens me too. Can we get him banned from conferences now?
