> As I've repeatedly pointed out

Oh, anyone who's followed our exchange can tell you're into repetition. Almost like a religious mantra.

And while there's a lot I could also repeat here, the following is the only novel ground we haven't covered yet and it's ... interesting:

> It's really odd how you devote about half of your ramblings to claiming that censorship/suppression are not occurring on twitter, and the other half defending their freedom to do so

You really think that's odd? I mean, that's not just "LOL", that's "chef's kiss LOL."

In either exploration or argument, it's entirely standard to both refute an assertion, and then for thoroughness sake to also look down the road and say "let's say we accept your assertion, here's why it doesn't mean what you think it means."

This is not only honest, it's thorough. And if you think it's strange, then it sure seems like you're... pretty new to exploratory or argumentative discussion.
