Just read the comments in here. This is a whole lot of words to say: "I wish I could say things without facing consequences."

As somebody else said in this thread, it's really rich to see Paul write about "implicitly ending the discussion" when he instablocks anybody on Twitter so easily.

Misquote. He said "implicitly ending the discussion by calling someone a x-ist", which is not the same at blocking someone who is annoying - blocking someone is just shutting your door, not making them lose their livelihood by defaming them.


Simply calling someone x-ist does not cause them to lose their livelihood by defaming them.

If you know of any instance where someone has lost their livelihood due _only_ to being called an x-ist, please share.


> instablocks anybody on Twitter

This is hardly implicit.
