What you're stating is exactly the opposite of what's happening. I am the one who's saying that people should be free to express any opinion they want on this issue. You're the one who's saying that if you state your opinion that there are two genders, you should be banned from the platform. And now you're projecting your own characteristics, which is that of a censorious person, onto me to justify your censorship.

You say that these people create nothing positive for the forum, but that's just because they disagree with you. You're perfectly fine disagreeing with them, and you wouldn't want your voice to be banned from a platform for that. So it's really just a total lack of any kind of integrity in how you conduct yourself vis-a-vis those you disagree with.

And yes, both of these platforms are or strive to be public squares where a large cross-section of people can interact to create a global discourse.



It's not projection when I describe to you what you are doing, it's simply a description of what you've described. Do you not read your own words? Perhaps read your own comments the same way you read mine.

As for the rest, you're deliberately missing the point. It has nothing to do with opinion disagreements, and everything to do with starting fights deliberately.

And finally, clearly these places are not trying to be public squares. If they were, they wouldn't ban people.


100% projection when you accuse me of being closed-minded and dogmatic, when I'm the one arguing for free speech for anyone to express their opinion, and you're the one arguing for an entire viewpoint that billions of people hold to be banned from being expressed on a major forum that is presumably ideologically agnositic. And like I said, you claiming that you're just trying to stop fights by banning people you disagree with is intellectually dishonest and displays nothing but a lack of integrity in your conduct towards anyone outside of your ideological camp.
