> I can also make up stuff he could have said but didn’t.

I think you're getting confused. pstuart was the one mentioning unfettered free speech, and tylersmith was the one saying it's not relevant to the article/SA.

> The phrase “unfettered free speech” only appears in the comments here and not in the article.

Yes, and I responded to that comment and not the article.

So how do I move my tentacle porn collection to your personal website? SFTP? Git? Rsync?

I would love to hear your position on free speech

Sorry for the repost but: What exactly are you trying to have a discussion with me about?

What conversation do you think you're trying to have here?

You started out by getting very heated about a point that no one was actually discussing, and then proceeded to get very angry that people were responding to a comment chain in context with the first comment.

Wait are you part of this conversation? Edit: It literally can’t be the answer to my question so

What Are You Talking About

You posted a bunch of flamewar comments in this thread. We ban accounts that do that. Would you please review the site guidelines and use this site in the intended spirit going forward? I'm not going to ban you right now, but you've been doing this repeatedly, unfortunately:

Posting like that will definitely get you banned if you keep it up, so please fix this. Btw, I suppose I should mention in a thread about SA that this isn't some sort of ethical or moral requirement. We just have those rules because we're trying to be a particular kind of website, and we need to do something about the sorts of posts that impede that.
