Why Epik welcomed Gab.com
This post will summarize why Epik welcomed Gab.com. It will also address why I believe the operators of the site have the right to be online.
epik.com

So, who the heck is Epik? Never heard of them.

Let Freedom Ring

To the casual observer, the case of Gab.com seems like it is something new. It is not. It is history repeating itself. While there are consequences to actions, there is also the proverbial risk of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. My hope, for all of our sakes, is that Gab.com treads wisely, using its liberty for the betterment of most, and the enlightenment of all.

Sincerely,
Robert W. Monster
Founder and CEO

Maybe it's my browser configuration, but gab.ai doesn't seem to be working, completely. But, they haven't gone away. The pages that load are filled with bitterness, and maybe even some hate speech, if you're into that sort of vilification. Still don't know diddly about Robert Monster, but maybe he's a "good guy".

    I'm seeing lots of intolerance in the responses realDonaldTrump gets on Twitter. So much hate for our president! You'd support banning that, yes?

    Anti-semitism is now running rampant in the Democratic party. What should be do about it? There's Linda Sarsour, Louis Farrakhan, Rashida Tlaib, Keith Ellison, Cory Booker... when do we ban them?

    Ilhan Omar just got elected as a democrat.

    One of her tweets: "Israel has hypnotized the world, may Allah awaken the people and help them see the evil doings of Israel"

    She is now elected. She is an islamist from Somalia who MARRIED HER BROTHER. Seriously, WTF. She will now represent house district MN-5 in congress.
