So, I'd be inclined to suspect someone did not enjoy engaging in this personally if they blocked all dissenting views on social media...

...tho they could support it in principle. But you can block people who won't or can't have a relevant conversation fully consistently.

The productive free exchange of ideas is not remotely impeded by the exclusion of people who can't or won't engage with ideas.

eg, I went to a conference on future of progressivism &it was open to all views on this but 1 woman wanted to talk abt Scottish Independence

She was cut off after abt 10 minutes so the conversation abt the future of progressivism could actually happen & diff views on this be heard

She could still make this argument and people who wanted to hear could still do so but the conference had a purpose & that wasn't it.

My threads are a lot like this sometimes. If you consistently come into then &ramble on abt pet issue irrelevant to topic, I will mute/block

premodernism blocked me a few weeks ago for calling out their logical inconsistencies.
