> it's really rich to see Paul write about "implicitly ending the discussion"

Misquote. He said "implicitly ending the discussion by calling someone a x-ist", which is not the same at blocking someone who is annoying - blocking someone is just shutting your door, not making them lose their livelihood by defaming them.

Simply calling someone x-ist does not cause them to lose their livelihood by defaming them.

If you know of any instance where someone has lost their livelihood due _only_ to being called an x-ist, please share.
