re: #537 iossarian

Are you serious? You would rather have bigots making racist/sexist/homophobic comments “out in the open”, than realizing that such views are unacceptable and “self-censoring”?

That makes not a single lick of sense.

Sure it does. I like to know what people are about. I don’t want to take someone’s opinions and thoughts seriously only to later learn that they’re a racist or an antisemite. I’d rather people be open about their views so I can determine who I’m listening to. Censorship (enforced or self imposed) only drives hateful ideas underground. I’d rather they be out in the open.
