Funny how so many "free speech" advocates like yourself cry that people with different opinions should not express those opinions.

Edit: hilarious this is being so heavily downvoted, when it's exactly what the poster was doing. Did I offend a HN VIP?

There is a difference between a critique and censorship. The person is not advocating that the hosting company of this blog post remove it from the internet, he is saying the writing added no value, so should not have been written in the first place. I would assume your down-votes are for purposefully conflating these points.

I don't say otherwise, or even refer to "critique" or "censorship" in my post, so what are you talking about?

> The person is not advocating that the hosting company of this blog post remove it from the internet

I also didn't accuse them of advocating the hosting company of this blog remove it from the internet, or even remotely hint at such, so what are you talking about?

> should not have been written in the first place

He said the author of the blog should "just spare us" their opinion.

If you want to carry on pretending you don't understand what that means I can't stop you, but next time try addressing what was actually written, not stuff you've completely made up to argue about.

The downvotes are far more likely simply because some people who love hate speech but hate free speech have more than 500 karma.

HTH

Obviously (thought it seems not to you) free speech advocates like myself have no problems with different opinions being expressed. It doesn't mean other people have to agree with them. They can express they opposition and critique. And they don't even have to endure reading it.

In a way, I can't even understand how could you have confused the two (critique vs censorship).

I don't know who you were hoping to kid here, other than yourself, but grandly stating someone should "just spare us" their opinion you don't happen to agree with is obviously not even remotely a "critique" of anything, it's simply a call for someone to shut the fuck up, because what matters (to "us") is what you personally are willing to tolerate.

In a way, I can't even understand how you could actually need this spelled out to you, unless you simply have no grasp of what you're posting, which admittedly is what it looks like.

The OP is a long posts explaining how other people don't deserve their right to free speech and how that made them stop working on IPFS, and somehow you twist my frustration phrased as "just spare us" as saying I am trying to censor OP.

Yeah, whatever.
