    Whelp, live by the sword die by the sword.

    I just find it interesting how these folks constantly claiming to be censored melt like snowflakes when people they disagree with speak.

    So we must beware of a tyranny of opinion which tries to make only one side of a question the one which may be heard. Everyone is in favour of free speech. Hardly a day passes without its being extolled, but some people’s idea of it is that they are free to say what they like, but if anyone says anything back, that is an outrage. -- Winston Churchill

      Yep, but notice that it's my SJW ass that's still here while that manly libertarian exaeta flees from the opinions he disagrees with.

        It's just that he does have better stuff to do than get into political arguments.

          It's good to have hobbies. I wish exaeta all the luck in the world. Although I'd caution him against committing violent acts against judges (well, everyone, but exaeta seems to have a special bug up his ass about judges). To paraphrase Heinlein, "Cutting [their[ throats is a momentary pleasure and is bound to get you talked about."

          I seriously doubt this. Politics is what brought exaeta, that and bitching about his appeal to a court being dismissed for, um, insanity. If it is politics that made him leave (and remains to be seen if this is a feint), he is only again being hoist by his own petard.

          That is all he did. Well, that and complain about sovereign immunity and getting access to drugs and precursor chemicals. However, those two can also be considered political as well, depending on your perspective.

        It's the person not the platform, otherwise you wouldn't still have me to play with.

    Yep, when Ethanol_fueled blames everything bad in the world on the Jews it does cause reasonable people to leave the site.

    Dare I ask how you distinguish between snowflakes and reasonable people?
