I would have thought "preservation of self's liberty" would have struck you clearly by now :/

By doing this, they have irrevocably crossed a critical and seemingly uncrossable line, which as Saager says, cannot now be uncrossed.

In the sense that now they have actually done the censorship they've done, and that's a historical fact, yes they cannot uncross that line, but to many on this list, their crossing of that line was obvious years ago...

On the other hand, an alternative, this time P2P, social media non-platform, may well solve this problem.

Since they are openly declaring war on us in an ideological war, I believe we should accept THEIR decision and be forced to be openly at war with them.

I agree the situation regarding freedom of speech in the public town hall, and its attack by the Valley's behemoths, is serious.

I would have thought you'd learnt your own lesson on naming things in the way you name them, but what would I know...

On the specific topic of AP, there is an old biblical adage that those who live by the sword, die by the sword.  It's a mataphor, example, allegory, principle (some might call it karma).

Perhaps living by AP is not quite the wisest move.  Don't mind me, I's just a bumblin hippie wanna be...
