Incorrect. I am all for sharing of views from all sides. That's been my point from the start.
I am saying that if people wish to reply to a reasonable view they do not like by demanding the speaker be silenced or made a pariah, or by amassing a crowd of knuckle-draggers to pummel the speaker with threats, they should considered what they are - morons. They're like the rabble in
Idiocracy. We should ignore them. A person who is so dumb his first reaction to being offended is not to offer a countering view and leave it at that but to instead flip out and demand some retributive action against the speaker is a hindrance to evolution. We abide these people, on the right and the left, at great cost to humanity's future.
