Reply #37: The point is that when people's positions are wrong, there should not be a rule against telling them

For instance, your claim that: affirmative action IS equal rights is incorrect. I doubt that is a common liberal or progressive opinion. Affirmative action is an implementation step on the way to equal rights, a step that many people claim is not only unnecessary, but actually an obstruction. Just about everyone agrees that when we actually achieve equal rights, affirmative action can be ended.

One point of discussing issues is to clarify points so that people can adjust their positions. Censorship only compels that people continue to live in ignorance.
