As a broad minded supporter of free speech (even of the kind that I find utterly revolting, like holocaust denial/revisionism) it takes a lot for me to consider a post hate speech. Like calling a group nothing but degenerate scum that should be eradicated of the face of the earth, or the use of pejorative slurs would qualify. If anyone crosses that kind of line when it comes to the groups you or anyone else belong to, then I will be more then happy to nail them to the wall for it.

I don't censor or censure you for what you say, just as I don't for those that disagree or counter you, regardless of what side I may actually be on. If you bring your cherished personal beliefs up to the table, it is perfectly fair to expect to have them disputed, even dragged through the mud, and up to you to defend them if you can (and if you can't then perhaps those views should be reevaluated).

As an academic, I really do not see why this is such a hard concept to understand. If you don't want to play, leave your ball at home.

Someone with a documentable history of hostility to those of faith continues that pattern (regardless of whether its "justified" on any single occasion or not) - along with hurling a personal insult regarding someone's sexuality in their following post (expressly forbidden in the TOS) and you guys choose to turn a blind eye - thats up to you. I guess some things are not hate speech when the "target" is equally hateful and despicable. I guess it all depends on the "kind" of group that its targetted at. So anyone who is an "identity christian" is a target - regardless. But because they are as a group wrong, hateful and yes - despicable - that makes such comments perfectly ok. The KKK is pretty despicable too - so I guess we can say anything we want about that group as well? Where do you draw the line on what "group" its acceptable to make blanket, generalized hateful comments about? Some people see Jews as despicable. That's one of the ways the Holocaust was allowed to happen.

I don't agree with "identity christians". But I still see a major double standard.

You guys call em like you see em.

So do I. It is what it is. I don't see a need to "do" anythng - either publicly or privately. If you do - then you know how to PM me - or take action publicly as you see fit.
