Again, this isn’t about that. It’s about the left controlling what can be said.
There is NO SUCH THING as free speech on an Internet forum. Anyone who thinks so is simply deluded.
ALL Internet forums control what is said - even this one. The only issue is “What are their controls.”
For example, we on Free Republic don’t allow the promotion of the liberal left ideas. If someone persists in that - they will be banned.
And, of course, we have rules in place for keeping things civil. So, what people have to recognize is that there is no free speech on Internet forums. All have defined limits to the types of discussions they will allow.
