There's a difference between advocating (free speech) and acting (physical
violence).

[Arlo]
As far as I know, neither Hezbollah nor the KKK physically assaults anyone in
their audience, when they are rallying, but both advocate violence against a
particular group of people. Back when the KKK were in their heydey, you would
have censored them?

[Platt]
How so? As for your hypocrisy, you claim tolerance, but bash who you consider
"stooopid" at every opportunity, like conservatives who speak at colleges for
not living up to so-called academic standards, as if there was only one right
way to think -- your way.

[Arlo]
I claim tolerance and support of free speech. I never said everything everyone
says is high Quality. The KKK, for example, are hardly high Quality
intellectuals. Unless you are imlpying that all positions, groups and speakers
are equal intellectually. I never took you for such a "relativist".
