> "I'm old enough to stand up against censorship and for the right to use ugly speech."

Then why are you hiding behind a throwaway account?

> "I am saying I dont support companies that dont support unfettered free speech."

Which companies do you support? Are there any which support unfettered free speech on their platforms?




Because I can? I said nothing about anonymity. Odd...

I'm from an age when anominity was a good thing. But do encourage all the current folks to move away from it, because I want to see them fail.

Lol I dont support any social media company. Social media is a net negative for the human experience, but that's just my opinion. I'm just a person who found the internet more fun before it needed to be safe for day time television watchers.


> "Because I can? I said nothing about anonymity. Odd..."

Not odd at all. You claim to be "standing up against something" but you aren't, you're not standing there, you're hiding. Your actions undermine your words. Rosa Parks didn't write an anonymous letter to the editor about people's right to sit on bus seats. Those who did write anonymous letters to the editor about it don't get to say "I'm standing up for black rights" because they ... weren't.


What? I just dont give money to companies that im my view are authoritarian.

I agree that private companies can do as they please.

Im not warring in any greater sense than im warring against big business when I buy a recycled product over another. I support companies that, in my view, support principals I care about.


The internet was more fun until the crybabies and control freaks ruined it.

This site is like a Reddit for the Silicon Valley community, you're not going to find much support. They will soon completely fail though, their ideology doesn't create value. Just keep watching.


It's going to get real awkward when he realizes his comment was flagged, thus prohibiting his "free speech"...


Im so confused as to why theres a subset of people who seem to think i am against companies running as the please? Is it because my opinion is so opposite yours?

I agree, run your clubs and businesses as you want. I will do the same. I support Blizzard in this respect, I just wont with my dollars or time.
