Google Docs will “warn you away from inappropriate words”

My view is the same.

I'm a free speech absolutist. I'm not saying any word, phrase or idea should be illegal, no matter how repulsive I, or anyone else, find it.

There's no logical inconsistency here.

The notion that personally choosing to use inclusive language is "chilling to free speech" is ludicrous.

You call people assholes, dismiss people's arguments out of hand, and quote people saying things they didn't even say (in quote marks, too). I think you're just a dick. I'm glad you consider yourself a free speech absolutist though, that's something I guess.

Calling me a dick violates my free speech.

I never said you violated anyone's free speech. I shouldn't have called you a dick though, I just got frustrated. I was trying to make a nuanced point, maybe it was a dumb one, but if so, it would be nice to be put right rather than dismissed.
