Of course not, but you did single out the phrase. And 'silence' is paired with 'or wish them away', and juxtaposed with 'exposure, argument, and persuasion'.
Lol, if that's the situation they're referring to it's even more absurd. As if someone voluntarily withdrawing their book over perceived racist overtones is horrifying silencing of the worst order

OK, that's a different debate (where the words 'chilling effect' and 'new authors without a contract' would feature and 'the worst order' wouldn't.) But I take it you agree that that example is nothing to do with either Rowling or 'really awful opinions'?

Not Rowling but I'd say racism fits the bill of awful opinions
