That's a completely erroneous perspective. IMO.

How about this? A church is being run by a community. A communist enters and wants to join and be part of the leadership, and to preach to the congregation about the evils of Christianity and all religion, and to advocate for a Marxist utopia.

Is it 1 A violation to decline the communists request? If not, why not? If yes, then why?

How about a lecture being run by a university to teach mathematics, but a student stands up and wants to argue about the political atmosphere of the university and the country, and ignores the lecturer's request to be quiet or leave.

Is this a 1A violation? If not, why not?

What, for that matter, is a "free speech platform"? Is it a platform that says anyone can say whatever they want, regardless of what it is, as long as it doesn't break any laws?

If the answer is yes, then what defines it as that "free speech platform"? The purpose. Such a platform would have a PURPOSE, and the purpose would be "free speech" aka to be a place where "anyone can say whatever they want". THAT is the purpose.

GreatAwakening.win is NOT a free speech platform (neither is Patriots.win, for that matter, I suspect). Its purpose is NOT to provide a venue where anyone can say whatever they want. It's purpose is to provide a forum for discussion of Q-related content, in a productive, uplifting and constructive way, aka a way that ADDS to the Q movement or it's direction. THAT is its PURPOSE.

Discussions, commentary and activity that does NOT adhere to, align with, or serve that purpose doesn't belong here.

If you want a free speech platform, go find one. GAW has a very clear purpose, but it is not to allow anyone to say anything or whatever they want, whether it is related to uplifting, developing the Q movement or not.

That said, naturally, critical thinking is a very important part of that development. So is discussion, advocating of differing viewpoints, and analysis. But also CRITICAL THINKING can and should have a purpose. If the purpose is destructive, to undermine, divide, discourage, mock or disparage, to inflate ego or vent personal negativity, then it's NOT productive.

In the end, PURPOSE is what determines value and what determines applicability. Failure to recognize PURPOSE is a fatal flaw that often leads to completely erroneous conclusions vis-a-vis how or what something is or should be.

Calling names and shutting down conversations

Obviously, calling names is not moderation. But what is and isn't calling names might easily be open to debate. What exactly constitutes "shutting down conversations" is open to debate (and bias).

The purpose of moderation in ANY forum or discussion venue is to MAINTAIN and uphold the PURPOSE. When something contradicts or violates that purpose, moderation can and should take any required action to ensure the purpose is upheld and preserved.

If someone doesn't believe in the purpose of a particular forum, they are free to leave. And, they should. Engaging with a forum whose purpose one doesn't believe in, or whose purpose one wants to alter, is really the definition of destructive. And yes, Communists certainly practice methods intended to destroy and undermine ANY purpose that doesn't serve or align with theirs. But they pursue that by INVADING other venues and purposes to undermine them.

That's a completely erroneous perspective.
