      It is, you know. You support freedom of speech by not preventing speech. Even when I was at my most anti-religious, I would not have gone into a church or mosque & shouted the vicar/imam down coz I thought they were speaking horrible nonsense. Other people wanted to hear.https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/971016050702766080 …

      No one is stopping Sommers from tweeting whatever dumb, inflammatory, insulting nonsense she wants, and plenty of publishers and TV producers give her a platform for that as well. She isn't entitled to lecture students without being interrupted. That's not how free speech works.

      I wouldn't now go and shout down intersectional feminist talks. Other people came to hear them. Not me shouting. We simply couldn't function if every talk was yelled over by people who disagreed with it. Just respond in an appropriate time and place.

          So basically, Christina sent him a cheeky tweet once so now fuck free speech and a respect for intellectual discourse in a university setting forever.https://twitter.com/DavidKlion/status/971014581345837056 …

          I can't capture the full story in 4 shots, go to Sommers' timeline and see for yourself. Remember, this is the woman who got drunk at the airport on Saturday night and tweeted "David's off his meds again" to a random inoffensive tweet of mine, demanding civility from undergrads.

          One might say that's a bit of an overreaction on David's part.

          I don’t know about Europe but in the US, the activist playbook is “Rules For Radicals,” by Saul Alinsky. He instructs to talk over end never listen to your opponent, it’s a 0 sum game. Very bad for a culture.

          The true result of “Rules for radicals,” will be perpetual nihilistic revolution because there will always be a ruling class, that’s just how cultures operate.

          You are applying standards of reason and courtesy that he willfully rejects. You do it so well that it is a pleasure to watch, but the real problem with this mentalility is more insidious than not getting reason or being rude.

          Has anyone done a study of how many intersectional feminist vs “other” talks have been interrupted by protested in a period of time? Numbers would speak for themselves

          There's an obvious difference between heckling a speaker and trying to prevent speech. Presumably the former is OK. I wonder if this guy recognizes the distinction and if so whether he supports the "right" to prevent speech. Seems that he does if the speaker can speak elsewhere.

          I'm convinced this particular line of argument is a desperate, flailing attempt to defend the indefensible. The mental gymnastics required to present the act of stopping someone else's opinion being heard as freedom of expression is breath-taking.
