...of course you don't ( unless the censorship is directed at one of your own interests , amirite ? )


No, I do think it's censorship.

However, please tell me more about how you know more about me from my posts in PaRD than I know about myself and my involvement in activist and social justice communities.

This is utterly laughable. Refusing to give a platform for hateful people to say hateful shit is very different than censoring them.


...no , it's not . Denying legal access for someone to make use of a " platform " available to everyone else is censorship , pure and simple .

Nah, especially when it's not available for 'everyone else' and involves having to be invited by the school to speak, in most cases.

That person can still say whatever they want to say. They aren't entitled to a student body enabling them and helping them get a wider audience, tho.

...you have revealed more about your political and social leanings than you are aware of . People post what they do for a reason and I'm very surprised you don't know this .

People have to have hobbies. Widow's involves making tremendously incorrect assumptions about other people.

I remember back in the day when he was convinced that I was going to convert to Christianity, f'rinstance. It's just funny stuff. A lot of it boils down to him knowing that he's terrible at arguing, but that if he starts making assumptions about you that you'll start discussing the assumptions instead of the topic. :(

If you think you know more about someone based off of PaRD posts than that person knows about themselves, then you're delusional.

Especially with respect to this topic, since I've literally never posted about no-platforming in PaRD before. It's why you hadn't heard the term before and asked if it was a new term equivalent to "safe-zones" from your earlier post.

...I know from your posts that at heart you are an authoritarian hiding behind a social liberal smokescreen ...and I am never wrong .

It definitely depends on the situation, and I think people have an all-or-nothing view on "censorship" that it's some scary, evil thing. I think that's kind of weird, personally.

There is a difference, I think, between when the college itself invites/pays a speaker to come speak v. student groups finding a prolific member of their community to come speak about a very specific issue and that is attended voluntarily.

That's the way life works, make wild assumptions and then convince yourself they're true.
