[MD] Free Speech

     Definitely.  Platt and I agree on some points,
but others, which basically this is still a individual
v. collectivism on Platt's side, where Arlo took out
the versus and uses what Ian says - middle path.  As
far as I know this 'versus' Platt still upholds has
gone for at least three months now.  Yet, maybe this
'versus' comes and goes, for Platt is entrenched on
his point, and Arlo his.  I guess the persistence has
been both Platt and Arlo, but as I said, Arlo took the
Middle Path, and Platt the versus on this point.  Yet,
the seemingly contrasted perspectives of Arlo and
Platt has been on-going since I joined.  It's amazing.
