Well, are you done arguing that in-person harassment deserves protection or that not protecting it will somehow lead to personal, private, or activities between consenting adults being diminished?
Because I’m amazed that you brought up this bit[quote=“enso, post:253, topic:71400”]
They came for the racists, but I wasn’t a racist, so my free speech wasn’t threatened…etc.

Again, it was the harassment, the not leaving when the people who were behaving peacefully asked, and the calling the cameraman a ni**er and making chimp noises that made it pretty obvious we were well past any ‘oh, he thinks differently’ lines. I made it clear that this is about CIVILITY, not about ‘sides’
I also said…
So no, that clearly has nothing to do with where I was coming from. I’m trying to figure out if you’re being deliberately obtuse or really not reading and comprehending the posts you’re replying to.
And as for the internet argument, people can hack other peoples’ accounts, they can set up fake identities, and pull all kinds of shenanigans. Obviously reason has to be a factor here (another simple concept that people seem to think is all fancy and confusing) and the burden would have to be a hell of a lot higher, wouldn’t it? Plus there’s bound to be tons of context so the gulf between somebody having an argument and somebody stalking somebody or promoting ‘how to kill minorities’ videos repeatedly is pretty broad.
Not that corporations NEED to have a ton of reason to let somebody go, especially since most of us are contractor crazy if we’re not in work free States…but again they shouldn’t concern themselves with peaceful activities or things that don’t harm others.
