[MD] An Observation From An Outsider

[M K]

Thanks for the response. That is a reasonable understanding. Obviously we call this type of context "heated debate". Hi Arlo. So far so good.

I see "hatred" as a pretext for thought control. Attempting to link controversial or unpopular ideas to "terrorism", "white supremacy", "zionism", and so on simply kills debate and intellectual quality.

We need these ideas out in the open. We should punish acts and not thoughts and ideas.

Would you find Geert Wilders guilty?

Andre to MK,

Sorry Mk, correction.(this is why I need a break to recover). The context
within which I meant 'spouting hate speech' is similar to my former post but
ideas may be attacked, criticised etc. In the context in which I meant it a
person is criticised and supposedly to be removed not the idea. Pirsig has
some things to say about this.
A person can always remain a source of other ideas (albeit having high or
low quality).

Sorry about the mix-up.
