      Ken, I've had nothing but good things to say to or about you for years, & you get triggered because I...think running press outlets out of business is a bad thing for speech? Really? This is genuinely sad. I always thought you actually cared about the free exchange of ideas.

      If I don’t agree with you precisely, I don’t support the free exchange of ideas. That’s what I mean by “hack.”

      I'm advancing a pro-speech position, but it must be your way or the highway? At least admit that the stance you're advocating for is that more speakers should be driven out of business in order to assure that their opinions are not heard.

      No Dan. I believe you’re broadly in favor of free speech. You’re the one using “my way or the highway” rhetoric throughout this conversation.

      Replying to @Popehat @politics_burner and

      So, do you dispute that your position leads to fewer speakers in the marketplace, and for reasons other than that there was no longer an audience for their ideas?

      This, of course, is begging the question of what speech is. You’re assuming boycotting and advocating boycotting isn’t speech. You’re wrong.

      Replying to @Popehat @politics_burner and

      Just state for the record: is it a good thing to use economic pressure to reduce the number of speakers in the marketplace. Don't duck the question. Is that good, or bad? If you believe your position to be correct, it should not be hard to answer.

      I reject the premise of your question. It doesn’t reduce the number of speakers in the marketplace. And I’m done with your dishonesty and bad faith in this argument, as perfectly embodies in that tweet. Your hackery.

      Refusing to follow the logic of your own argument, then tossing an ad hominem & running away, is truly a sign of a strong argument grounded in a well-considered philosophy of speech. I really expected better.

      You are welcome to advance an actual argument, if you choose.

          My argument is that you lost and are making yourself look bad. Prove me wrong.

          Boycotts are fine because they are ineffectual and don't achieve their desired goals is not a win.
