I think this is not only wrong, but troubling. tolerating actions on the street is not the same as tolerating speech in a private forum.

Is twitter your idea of a private forum?
I thought the point of twitter is that everything is public?

I meant with regards to the statement you made, not with regards to Twitter specifically - But Twitter is still Opt-in, you subscribe to those you wish to follow, and can unsubscribe at will.

I never dreamed I'd see the day when electing a president was called radical.
I believe allowing these people on your community site gives them the space they need to become more extreme and radical. The standard you walk past is the standard you accept, and it's always struck me as very convenient that Reddit's minimal censorship policy magically aligns with minimisation of operating costs.
