    We think each other is wrong, yes. We want to defend different things under the name of freedom of speech. Mine is a broader principle often known as the marketplace of ideas or liberal science. Yours is more literal & about the right for anyone to say any words anywhere.https://twitter.com/notCursedE/status/971303412972380161 …

    No I've acknowledge it and continually keep telling you you are wrong. This isn't about freedom of speech. It's about the rules of formal discussion. Please acknowledge this point or don't reply. Im already so bored and frustrated with this.

        Hypothesis: I wonder if @notCursedE's version is an(other) example of a narcissistic-individualistic corruption of liberalism. "How dare an authority trespass on *my* right to ..." etc etc

        No, I think she's all for freedom. She just categorises it in different ways and doesn't define freedom of speech as I do as part of a broad principle of progressing liberal democracy but a smaller, local one about people being allowed to literally speak.

        The problem is about deception too. If you listen to some academic speakers properly, they are often giving a nuanced point, whereas the protestors massively exaggerate and simplify what the speaker represents (in short, the protestors often lie about the person's views).

        For example, when some people make a point that immigration needs to be controlled in SOME circumstances, some people will hear them saying "All immigrants are scum, keep them out" instead, and they'll then accuse the person of being racist. This happens again and again.

        The problem with this strategy, is that it doesn't challenge the speaker in a reasonable way (by engaging with them, and trying to get them to realise flaws in their argument). But it also discredits decent protestors, who actually DO have a message.

        Another problem again, is that if people accuse people of being racist, when that person is not being racist, it waters down the message of when an actual racist is challenged. My point is, that protestors often exaggerate, and end up creating a lot of harm!
