Saw some prominent nyms muted me over my Anonymity post. Think it’s cowardly af, as it seems they only want to hear the straw man cases against their beliefs and don’t want to suffer the emotional discomfort of a contrary steel man view.

That said, I think you should be able to mute whatever you like for whatever reason. Free speech isn’t the same thing as forcing individuals to hear what you’re saying if they’re not interested.

So fuck them. But I respect their rights!

It is their right, but you're spot on that it's cowardly af. People need to learn how to disagree and debate again, not shield themselves from everything that upsets their fragile sensibilities.

I have no respect for someone that fragile.
