The fact that Twitter *can* choose to ban ppl doesn't mean we can't criticise them for doing so.

I'm in favour of Twitter leaving bigoted ppl to speak so I can argue with them & to defend my own free speech.pic.twitter.com/tgcD6EdZ5V

Does it violate the principle of FS for a group of scientists to ban creationists from a private conference?

We have agreed that people can pick their own rules. We will agree with some & not with others.

Would that scenario violate the principle of freedom of speech that you have advocated?

Yes. A private conference on science would not include free speech. Nor do I argue that it shld. Its a private conference.

But its an open forum, not a specialist conference or a kindergarten class or a private house. We might evaluate individually.
