Kevin Williamson's firing is not a free speech issue. Free speech protects you from censorship, but not from the civil consequences of uncensored speech. It certainly doesn't offer job security as an opinion-writer. His firing was not an issue of free speech, but free markets.

It's the wrong hill for so many people to be dying on. Not sure why the Quillette crowd is so intent on defending someone who called for 1/10 - 1/8 of the US population to be executed, but it's extremely disappointing to see.

Yeah, I also think what he said was stupid. But what we personally think of what he said shouldn't affect the validity of his firing. It's a decision for those who pay his salary.
