Way to 'what about' speech policing. Yay to normalizing less freedoms because 'someone else did something too'.

I’m not trying to what about anything, I’m actually a fairly extreme free speech absolutist.

I’m just pointing out the hypocrisy, the people complaining the loudest are the same people who exuberantly censor people they disagree with.

These type of people have lost moral authority.

that is quite disturbing to me

That's ridiculous. I use whitelist and blacklist just fine and have for the last decade plus. No one in the government told me it wasn't allowed.

You're really offended by these linters huh.

I resent others trying to police my language, especially when the language is not offensive.

People who do this obviously get joy out of bossing other people around and pretending they are being virtuous.

It's a strange hill to die on brother.

But you do you.
