You in another thread "As a writer and basically a rep here" Responds to me with "Boo. Hoo." and barely a rebuttal, Lul.

But sure, he wasted billions on the platform which is losing money even more than it already was before he took over so good for him, I'm free to criticise Musk and his Twitter as well. I suppose you will conveniently ignore him censoring on behalf of far-right governments? Okay. Anyway, we won't need to ban Twitter, he will run it into the ground eventually.

I know how much "freedom of speech" the USA has.

Nick Fuentes Says 'Perfidious Jews' Should Be Executed

Nick Fuentes: 'We Will Make Jews Die in the Holy War'

Lovely "freedom of speech" to be an open Nazi...Congrats or something?

I have my freedom of speech too and I exercise it to criticise Musk, I also know that freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequence, it is meant to largely protect from government consequence but not public consequences, public opinion, etc. If I was being openly Nazi in VGChartz, I would rightfully be banned and kicked from the Mod team.

Yes, I stand 100% by that response and I see nothing controversial about it as you seem to be implying. If the higher ups see differently. Well, then.. It's been real. ✌️

Whoever this Fuentes guy is, if he's making direct racist and physical threats like it sounds like he is then yes absolutely he should be banned. As I said in other posts, any speech on social media in a free society should be allowed SHORT OF threats of violence, doxxing, etc. Was that unclear? 

It was dismissive and annoying to be responded to with "Boo. Hoo." especially when in another thread you make note of the fact that you're staff and a rep of the site and then immediately give a dismissive response to another member of staff, Lol. Not going to lie, it makes me think less of you and less likely to treat you with respect in the future but it made me laugh more than anything and I don't care about it going beyond anything than that, not like I've not had pretty spicy debates with other members of the writing team before, I've been responded to a lot worse by other users and didn't moderate them so I'm not about go running to Machina because you said "Boo. Hoo." to me. Besides, the Mod team and Writing team are completely separate and don't crossover at all, we have our area, you have yours.

But if you agree that Fuentes is shit and should stay banned then good, but while you defend Musk and say that, Musk is saying he's going to unban Fuentes because "freedom of speech" and many others like Fuentes have been unbanned because "freedom of speech" which isn't just "I hate marmite!" but genuine hateful rhetoric, often leaning into violence and surely if you agree that Fuentes is bad, you can muster up some criticism to how Musk is handling things instead of the original post which basically mocked every comment concerned about the state of Twitter? You can see the hypocrisy in Musk's censoring for Türkiye and India but not for Australia and Brazil?
