no that didn't happen. the point is, in the general case, I strongly feel that it's a _defense_ of freedom of speech to fend off people whose activity is standing in the way of whatever thoughtful discussion is going on.
It seems like a popular internet tactic (in general) to crap obliviously on other people's discussions and then invoke FREEDOM OF SPEECH if anyone politely suggests that discussion-crapping is a bad idea or (lord forbid) actually asks someone to turn it down, or asks someone to stop or makes them stop. What about the freedom of speech of the 99% of people trying to engage in good faith? What's more important, the speech of 99 thoughtful people or 1 discussion-crapping person?
again, this is a general point relating to the freedom of speech issue, I'm not specifically addressing the current todo.
At work occasionally we get these peanut biscuits that have peanuts stuck to the top; they are my current favourite kind of biscuit.
