If your suggestion is "people who are the target of persistent harassment should remove themselves from public discussions", that seems at least as contrary to the ideal of free speech as removing the harassers.

I'm not really sure where you got that idea, I never said that.

EDIT: I see what you mean. I think there's a huge difference between temporarily choosing to not engage in public discussions, and being shut out of said discussion.
