On Asshats And Freedom Of Speech
Here’s how freedom of speech works:
If you behave like an asshat, and I respond by:
a) calling you an asshat;
b) expressing my fervent wish that you weren’t an asshat;
c) lamenting the fact that you won’t stop talking like an asshat; and
d) suggesting you take your asshat views elsewhere,
then I am exercising my right to freedom of speech - just as you, by being an asshat, are exercising yours.
I am not censoring you. I am not attacking your freedom of speech.
I’m simply using my rights - which are equal to yours - to point out the myriad ways in which you’re abusing those rights by using them in the service of asshattery.
THAT IS ALL.

Not to mention…you are not the government, and your blog is your blog. You can refuse to let someone use your blog as a way to spew their asshattery all over. If they don’t like it, let ‘em get their own blog.
