Slippery slope. I’m not a fan of the word and I don’t use it, but banning people is censoring free speech. That’s what I appreciate about these boards, it’s the last bastion of free speech. On the other hand, allowing it gives ammo to the other side, ‘those people are bigots’. Tough call, I get both sides of the argument, but I tend to side with free speech
It was never about being able to say the dreaded n word. It was about being able to say what you want without fear of exile.
You can’t restrict speech without restricting thought and the users here are smart enough to realize that. It’ll start with this, then it’ll move on to some other topic you all don’t like, then you’ll have Reddit.
I hope you can tell from the down votes that this point of view is ridiculous and you are not helping the movement.
