It's funny how many people here claim to support "the free exchange of ideas" but forget to mention the caveat "only if I like them".

It's almost like there's a bunch of gaslighting that makes it okay, regardless of opinion, to modify voting algorithms to promote certain political opinions.

FYI this is the behavior the brown shirts exhibited. We're not so far from those times again.

If the ideas in question include abhorrence to free speech and opposing ideas to the point of silencing those that express them, is it still all right? Because T_D has regularly demonstrated that these are some of their core principles.

Top-quality Godwinning.

I hope that wasn't a critique of my behavior, I never claimed to support a free exchange of ideas.

I'm having difficulty determining who (if at all?) you have an issue with?
