    Yikes, thank you for calling out me out on this. I definitely did not mean to threaten anyone. I see how it could have been interpreted that way though, so thank you! What I meant is that if this dispute is eventually to devolve into a literal war, I will go to battle to fight in favor of free speech. So it’s not quite right to say I was hyperbolic, but at the same time I was certainly not threatening anyone.

    Based on your last paragraph, it honestly sounds like you and I mostly agree on this topic. And yes, if kbin started shutting down objectionable magazines, I’d close my account.

    As your final point, thank you, I take that as a complement, though I’m no TERF, by any means, and I understand you didn’t mean it as a complement. I really do support free speech that genuinely and completely.

      I appreciate you being able to understand what I was trying to get at, even though it’s clear we disagree. I will restate that I don’t think forcing any private service to host content has anything to do with freedom of speech. This is doubly true for a service like Kbin, where anyone can host their own instance and host whatever they want.

        Agreed on that — I don’t support force either. Ultimately it’s up to Ernest.
