@PhilosophyExp If that was an unreasonable demand, backed up with threats, etc, then it might be. However it's obv. a very reasonable demand

@SIN_Notung And if I demand that people shouldn't vote for UKIP? You probably see where I'm going with this...! :)

@PhilosophyExp Not actually sure about that last one - I would just try to reason with someone about their vote - not make demands.

@PhilosophyExp I'm mostly thinking about Draw Mohammed Day. I wouldn't normally do it, but if someone says "you must not do this or else"...

@PhilosophyExp "You must not wear Jesus & Mo t-shirts", "you must strike 'niggardly' from your vocabulary" "you must not joke about X", etc.

@SIN_Notung It's not simply - it's important to resist "unreasonable", authoritarian demands.

@PhilosophyExp I suppose, but a critic of DMD would say "it's not a free speech issue - we're just saying you're a <insult> for doing it"

@PhilosophyExp but I want to argue that one can have good reason to do it - that reason based in the demands of others.
