This is well laid out, but it absolutely freaks me out that we even have to explain to very smart people why free expression of ideas is important. I know it's human nature to persecute, but I hate being reminded of it so often.

When something doesn't make sense, check your premises.

I like the sly insult, but I think some of the attitudes today are dumb enough only a very smart person could rationalise them.
