To paraphrase the above: "It's only deplatforming if it's me or my friends. If it's someone I don't agree with, they're just whining." Free speech is not your exclusive right, Russell. Nor ESRs, no matter how much you seem to think so. If you want a "safe space" where only people you agree with can speak, it's cheap and easy to create your own mailing list, and I wish you the joy of it. -- Josh Berkus _______________________________________________ License-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.opensource.org/mailman/listinfo/license-discuss_lists.opensource.org
