That is the beauty of real speech "Many who come here are like me, stumbled upon this site because I was curious what she looked like, and then was utterly disgusted by what I saw here. Not all of those 250k or whatever unique visitors are supportive of your cause." You are welcome here, to engage in the free exchange of thought, the marketplace of idea, and to persuade, argue, or be mean, educational or patently vulgar. Youre an adult, you can collapse comments you do not like, you can engage the comments you decide, and most importantly, you have the same opportunity to spread your position, right or wrong, in the hopes that it will persuade another, or many others. You are welcome here, even if you have opposing views as me. That is a curtesy that was deprived to me when a social media account was suspended merely for mentioning the name "Lucy Craig". Being welcome to the marketplace of thought and idea with open, albeit opposite views as many, is something thar was deprived of many many many others. The readon why this simple blog is popular is because even though "our side" has been deprived of the curtesy of debate in a publiv forum, we still welcome the very people who tried to censor us... That is how much we value speech, we welcome the very people who tried to silence us when we became so loud as a result of that censorship that even those who tried to silence us are now engaging us on our turf, on our platform, on our terms. Had my stupid post on social media been ignored it might have reached 1,500 people tops, at most 10 engagements, no shares, and ignored through the algorithms within 10 minutes, but the silencing of my speech has now made me the loudest voice, literally, on either side, and I am making a point to the social media companies, the people who reported my post, and the general public, we will not be censored anymore, but with that, we will not censor others. Try being that humble and accepting. Allowing speech from all sides, languages, countries, rank, and type (from joyful to sad, from appreciation to threats, from fluffy and off topic to vulgar and disrespectful. Speech is that important. And speech, no matter how crazy it is perceived, can never alone hurt anyone.
