How does this in any way negate the comment you are responding to? His point is that people go to Gab because they are thrown out of other venues.

You're just going on about how they deserve to be thrown out.

my point is that they aren't being thrown out because of their political views.

the guy in the above example wasn't purged because he was a conservative. it's a shock, I know, but consider the fact that he was shown the door because he was an asshole.

Fair enough. But people did experiments like

that show how same speech applied from opposite angles produces different results vis-a-vis being banned.

NO! Get out! That context and subject actually matter? NO WAY. /sarcasm
Aren't those two words synonymous? lol
