Oh Amherst. Point 5 is probably the most hilariously lacking in self awareness. http://www.amherstsoul.com/post/133122838315/amherst-uprising-what-we-stand-for …

@emptywheel@normative And that is fine. But thats not the remedy the students demand, now is it? They want to curb+punish protected speech -
@bmaz No. Actually it is precisely what they demanded.@normative -
@emptywheel@normative No, restriction and punishment of protected speech is precisely what they demanded with items 5+6 of their manifesto -
@bmaz That might be true of 6. It is only true of 5 from perspective of an outsider who hasn't bothered to learn what it means.@normative -
@emptywheel@bmaz Pretty weird to only mention the content of other posters if what you "really mean" is that yours shouldn't be torn down.

@emptywheel@bmaz@normative Then the punishment should be for tearing down posters, not for content of new posters. -
@Popehat Which is what the possible punishment will be for, if the anonymous people engaging in that "speech" get IDed.@bmaz@normative -
@emptywheel@bmaz@normative I hate poster-tearing, no matter who does it. -
@Popehat@emptywheel@normative Let us join together to denounce poster tearing. Let us not restrict+punish protected speech in doing so. -
@bmaz Thus far, you have very ardently defended people who poster over speech and rip it up bc you didn't know context.@Popehat@normative -
@emptywheel@bmaz@Popehat If you had the proper context, you'd see "that asshole" was a typo for "my worthy opponent"...
