Because I don't think being strongly pro-free speech means that I have to allow everyone to join *my* conversation.https://twitter.com/n8r0n74/status/926595942697938945 …

Difference here is blocking v trying to get account deactivated. The first = I don't want to listen to your shit. It isn't anti free speech.
-
Also, I don't want any dealings with you at all. Also, quite acceptable.
-
Not "I don't want any dealings w/ you at all *in public*". Not for you to decide.
-
Yes, it is! Who else gets to decide who I have dealings with on social media if not me?!
-
Nate, u saying this is a public forum so no one should block others (even if abusive?) Your personal Twitter rules aren't universal.
-
I've already clarified that I'm ok w/ Block for abuse (so long as that's not equated to "annoying", "time wasting", etc).
-
Anything that impedes the free exchange of ideas I will block for. But I support people blocking for any reason to make their Twitter theirs
-
Blocking is itself an impediment to free xchange of ideas, not a solution for impediments. I agree, it's trying to make a public space yours
