    I asked you: “But do you know why what you said was a false equivalence and why claiming freedom of speech doesn’t make sense?”

    That’s two questions and you answered with “it does.” Which doesn’t answer either of them. Until you answer those questions then the quote I posted wasn’t random, in fact, it calls out exactly what you’re doing.


  • “Never believe that anti-Semites people like this guy are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites people like this guy have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.”

    Jean-Paul Sartre




  • I’m sorry that I called you stupid. That was wrong of me and you didn’t deserve that.

    If you’re interested, I could explain to you why your comment that I initially responded to was a false equivalence, and why claiming that I was stifling your free speech is nonsensical. Let’s talk it out and maybe both of us can walk away from this having learned something. :)
