From: Dr.Dimitri Vulis KOTM dv: Why the quotes? John Gilmore censored me with no quotes. bw: Don't worry about it. dv: No. John Gilmore's actions are contrary to free speech, but his own principles clearly don't include free speech. He has no credibility. bw: I guess you think this will bring me anguish. dv: Not true. An honorable person would tolerate all speech and either ignore it or respond with more speech. A dishonorable person, such as John Gilmore, seeks to silence the speech he doesn't like. bw: You're not obliged to be dishonorable even if others are. dv: .....Note also that he hasn't pulled the plugs of other very rude people, like Timmy May (fart). bw: He's not obliged to be rude only according to your preference. dv: Speech is not action. Action is not speech. bw: But the principle regarding the tolerance of insults is the same in both cases. dv: I don't think John Gilmore's sexual practices are *that* bizarre. The Kinsey report estimates that 10% of the population shares his practices. bw: I guess you think you're talking to someone who gives a flip. .. Blanc
