Correct. While silencing him may be satisfying, this road will lead us down a dark path. It is better to suffer a little evil than to loose everything good.
The real danger isn’t in what people say on a platform where everyone disagrees. It’s going to be what happens when we have divided into different social networks, payment processors, banks, social networks, films, and credit unions. Do you know what you call people you can’t talk to? Enemies. It may be satisfying, but I can’t approve of these actions when I can foresee the horrific conclusion.
Yes, but the average person is smart. For instance, if I average 95, 95, and 95, then the average is 95. If I average 94, 94, 94, 95, 95, and 95 and the average is 94.5, does that mean the other half is stupid? Of course not, which is why people who keep saying this over and over are below average. You can tell because they aren't saying anything important.
