Jeet, would you care to do a side-by-side comparison of which of us more frequently defends freedom of expression for people who don’t share our own views? I suspect it will expose you—the person who regularly trolls with charges of inconsistency—to be far inferior on that metric

You write about free speech far more than I do, and with an admirable consistency (although we could quarrel about relative salience given to stories). Which is why a comment on this case (which seems to be a clear case of libel chill) would be welcome.

Mennaker and I are both leftist but there's a lot of Chapo stuff I disagree with, both in terms of substance and (more importantly, I think) analytical approach.
