> he's just going to come back with more circular bullshit.

Asking people to justify their claims, and pointing out falsehoods or logical errors in their responses, is "circular bullshit" now?

I clearly stated I am playing Devil's advocate.

I concede points where they are valid.

I make no (other than conversational) claims without backing them up, how many claims has OP made without providing evidence for?

The discussion is curtailment of free speech (the general principle, not the First Amendment - try to get someone to even admit there's a difference without changing the subject) - I am arguing that we better have very good reasons for it, supported by evidence. Fashionable popular opinion is not evidence.
