Well, that is at least a start. Coffee is on me anytime. Just PM me to arrange a time, preferably on the Seattle Eastside if not too far out of the way. I don't record and I try to listen at least as much as I talk. #IAMLISTENING

You are endangering every marginalized community, every moment that Gab remains online. You are complicit in the agitation and organization of fascist killers. Nobody with any sense would let you near them.

That is your opinion. Though you might doubt it, I am a social progressive who loves everyone and hopes to extinguish divisiveness. You seem to be for divisiveness and are propagating an inaccurate portrayal of a humanitarian at work. #AgreeToDisagree #CoffeeIsOnMe

Censorship is fascism afaic. Who decides whose speech is more equal and free than others? Censoring "fascists" just encourages them and builds their support as they feel (rightly) persecuted and denied their 1A. Direct contradiction of prog principles and counterproductive imo

Is there delusion that "shutting down Gab" will magically rid world of "fascists" or somehow weaken them? It just shows that tyranny is not limited to "bad people". It gives legitimacy to tool of censorship--and leftists have already been shut down--does this make them "conform"?

It's one tiny step. Nobody has an illusion about making fascists "go away."

So what to do with these evil fascists? What if a guy like Chris Cantwell -- perhaps a candidate for public enemy #1 and certainly a right wing provocateur -- turned over a new leaf? Is he allowed to exist in your version of the universe?

When he addresses his harm honestly and makes a consistent material difference in the lives of those he harmed, he can begin to seek forgiveness and contrition but nobody is required to forgive, trust or include him in their society. You don't get to just step back into life.
