You put words in my mouth. I never stated my stance on this. I stated that musk’s absolute free speech is not actually absolute. Thus he’s a hypocrite.
musk is the one stating he’s for absolute free speech and then banning some people for exercising it. He’s not banning right wing people (except for Alex Jones) or racist posts. But he banned a guy for sharing the location of his private jet. If you look around, those who claim “free speech” are just as willing to deny it to others as those who see the nuances of real life.
Secondly, you set up an unreasonable standard. You are supportive of US citizens making death threats towards the president. Or intentionally spreading libel. Or lying under oath in a courthouse.
Thirdly, your real motives have come out. This isn’t actually about free speech. It’s about politics. “Screw the libtards!”

Something is either true or it's not. Facts are not subject to interpretation. Right and wrong is up to a person's morals, which they have to live with. Facts are absolute or they are not facts. An un-defendable position is one that is not fact based.
You like censorship when it goes your way. Not good. When the left controlled Twitter, you were fine with conservatives being banned, but now they have a voice, you want those on the left who weren't truthful to be protected. That's a double standard. I think everyone should get their voice, I believe in the 1st Ammendment, as written and intended.
I don't think name calling in a debate is useful. I can't control what public figures do, but in my own discussions, I know the first person in the debate who calls names loses. It's a "tell" that they are rattled, so they try to shut the other party down or throw them off their game by attempting to evoke an emotional response. Emotion is why people name call. The first one to name call is showing they have lost control of their emotions. It's the crack in their armor, every time.
Be as snarky as you want, I can take it, it reflects on who you are, not me. At least you were more honest and self-aware admitting it was trying to take a chap shot, so I respect you manning up to recant it.
The other guy isn't able to do that, which simply tells me I'm having a better month of trading than he is, since "emotion is the only reason traders lose money."
Happy trades!
