I like to talk about "high school debate tournaments" as a negative caricature of what the "free speech" crowd thinks the world should be like But in reality those tournaments have a highly valuable feature - after the time limit is up, the debate is over

The steelman version of this is that if an idea fails debate, then it falls apart "on its own merits" and nobody will defend it anymore. But it's impossible to diagnose that's happened if the rule remains that everything is open to debate. They're doing heroic medicine on corpses

Just to avoid even sarcastically applying the word "heroic" to what they do, I'd say they're demanding heroic medicine be performed on corpses, at gunpoint.
