You can't just declare a speech insane without a good reason, especially if it more or less agrees with what you state just next...

Edit: although i don't know how to read (insane vs. inane), this does not fundamentally changes anything in context...

The tone of the article implies that TED is somehow suppressing the dissemination of this speech because it's content is somehow too controversial to handle.

I declare it inane because the speech described by the article isn't very controversial at all.

Duff said inane, not insane.
inane != insane
Buy a dictionary :-)
Realy Guys I give the poster who did not know the diference bwtween inane and insane - some valid feedback instead if insulting his lack of knowledge of english and I get voted down?
Perhaps he simply misread, it happens. To assume he doesn't know the difference and then suggest he "buy a dictionary" is a tad bit rude, which may account for the downvotes.
