Thanks for the thoughtful and detailed response.

Ok.

Regarding intolerance, I am strongly inclined to agree that intolerance in and of itself is not a bad thing.

I think we might disagree, as I think it is perfectly acceptable and legitimate for a group of people to create a venue where they can discuss specific things, and that it is not hypocrisy to restrict certain forms of discussion that do not align with the purpose.

I don't see anyone on this forum saying crazy people do not have a right to say what they think or express their opinions. What I see is (the forum creators) saying, they do not have a right to do that here.

I don't agree that this is a public space. It is public, in the sense that it is open to the public, but this does not mean that the public have the right to define the purpose or rules here.

It's a private space, open to the public.

That's very different to a public space that is open to the public.

In my view.
