You lost me here, as in my experience, such activity has been in significant decline over my lifetime. We're actually living in a golden age where science and reason are ascendant.

Using this as a pretext for silencing people that don't agree with us seems particularly pernicious.

Did you respond to the wrong post? I'm certain I didn't mention silencing anyone.

In fact, when you take my post as a whole, not partially as you did, over and over again I gush about the importance and the incredible power of speech.

You're arguing for limiting speech. I'm arguing against.

I absolutely am not.
