I don't agree with racism. But offense is irrelevant. What matters is ensuring that all people have equal access to all information so that truth may not be suppressed.

It is foolish, for anyone who cares about truth, to advocate suppression of information or opinions, by legal or other means. Because history demonstrates that, whenever such suppression is legitimized, it will be used by evil people to suppress truth.

Yesterday the cardinal sin was heresy against the church. Today the cardinal sin is racism. Tomorrow the cardinal sin will be something else. Someday the cardinal sin will be your own opinion. Only evil people and shortsighted fools advocate censorship of opposing views.

Not about suppression. unz.com is still operating. It just isn't a contributor to Google's news aggregator.

Anyway unz.com itself is an aggregator and doesn't publish everyone either.
