Sorry. Doesn’t look like you’re Interested in logical discourse. By your logic you have a right to commandeer screen time and are censored if you are blocked from it.

That's the second time you're pretending me and @peterktodd are not using rational arguments, and also the second time you're using the "by your logic" non-sequitor. It strongly suggest you're arguing in bad faith.

Got no time for people who turn debate into insults like that, I blocked him. BTW here is a libertarian property rights argument for making the deplatforming of long users illegal:https://twitter.com/NickSzabo4/status/1027084880415313922 …

Sorry Nick. I don't buy thit argument. If my tenants signed a contract that said "you can piss on on carpet" then so be it. If you pissed on my rug for 5 years and one day I had enough of it, I have every right to tell you to fuck off. (Not accounting for laws)

Both legally and morally you do not, you have lost the right to do so by creating a reasonable expectation on the tenant's part that they are allowed to use the property in that way. Similarly if a neighbor uses your lawn as a shortcut for five years and you don't object.

Yes but what if one day I don't want you to use my lawn for a shortcut? Can I tell you to stop?

Legally no, not if the statute of limitations (e.g. 5 years) has run. Morally, your lack of enforcement means the neighbor reasonably relies on expectation of continued use, may have even invested in improvements (as has a social media user, as Elaine describes in the OP link).

This is news to me. So if someone was using my lawn as a shortcut for 5 years (without a contract) and now I wanted to grow food, I'm shit out of luck?
