I’m talking about things such as restricting hate speech, discrimination etc. Like we did with rule 7.

    If I invite you to my party and you start insulting my friends, am I oppressing you if I ask you to leave?

    What if I don’t ask you to leave and you continue ruining the nights of everyone else present so they are forced to leave instead? Why is it OK to oppress them by default just because some random dickhead wants to be a dickhead in my space?

    What if I run a bar?

    (Link above is to the best non-reddit, non-twitter version of the bar story, not the original posts.)

    Freedom of speech means the government can’t lock you up merely for expressing an opinion. It doesn’t mean anyone else has to put up with your shit.
