    First of all I support free speech to the extent that I actually believe they should not be banned. I’m not sure what Elons lines will be but I would argue not to ban them. I say let it stay with no edit option so the whole world can see how fanatical and crazy left wing activism is. That historic tweet will come back to haunt them.

    I also know employers look at social media accounts of employees and I’m sure this type of comment will reduce opportunities in life. Let them live with their speech.

    So to the question should people be banned for tweets like this? I would vote no

    Anything contrary to leftist distortion of reality is considered by the left to be hateful. And if hearing it results in sending them into fits of rage, they deem it divisive. Hopefully, Musk has a better grasp on reality. There is nothing frightful about the rebirth of common sense, however it might dampen the designs of evil.

    Who’s the judge, jury and executioner of the violent tweets?

    No, in itself text on page is not violent.

    But we would need to look at the desired effect and actual effect of the tweet.

    Let the unhinged lefty loonies show you who they truly are..... When people show you who they are, it was no accident.

    As someone who loathes, hates, dreads, and despises nearly every imaginable form of censorship, I could never support 'banning' anyone in any forum for saying ANYTHING! The only kinds of expressions that should be censored are those like the famous "yelling 'Fire!' in a crowded theater" and that kind of thing. Any censorship for all other reasons is nothing but bullying, tyrannical, arbitrary BULLSHIT! :furious:

    Do any of you Democrats care to repeat the talking point that it is the right wing that is the biggest threat in America today?

    That's what they parrot but when we look at reality we see something different.

    Democrats have chided us for years telling us that words, and even silence is violence. Are you suggesting now they were lying? That's a hard turn.. but sometimes, the fear of the left is so palpable, its endemic on the left to lash out at those who challenge their meaningless drivel.
