Why are people quick to ban or block because a comment makes them angry, rather than engage, debate or respectfully strongly disagree and leave the discussion at that?
Why can’t people handle talking with someone who has a completely different view who can explain why they are against something that was said?
I don’t worry about individual people hating me. Nobody lives in my head rent free, but I do stay aware of the consequences of group hate. Giving that hate a platform allows it to grow to more people and become an issue. My people are under real attack and it would be foolish for me to ignore that.

So I am a fan of deplatforming hate. Other topics however, I am more than glad to talk about and debate about.
