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".

    GuardAmerican making fun of Beta for driving drunk, wasting millions, losing, and having ugly fat people in his audiences. Seriously why are right wingers hot, and lefties so dang ugly?

    That one is easy and explains a lot about who is on which side.
    People who are* [smart|good-looking|rich|healthy] like to think that it is so because of their own hard work or inherent attributes.
    People who are* [dumb|ugly|poor|sick] want to blame someone else or bad luck.

    *they may not actually be, they may just think they are.

    Fairly accurate with a side dish of good/bad decision making and ability to plan. And those have many physical effects mostly related to health and exercise.
