I've gotten a lot of responses to that Substack piece about leaving Twitter. Many are positive but some are negative. A few are saying "oh so you think free speech is nasty?"

What kind of stupid question is that? Of course I do. The Nazis marching at Skokie were nasty. All sorts of speech is nasty. Supporting free speech doesn't mean reserving judgment about it, you imbecile. It means not using the state to suppress it.

I enjoyed your Substack piece. Musk stuffing the Qnut #StochasticTerrorPipeline and directing the business end of it at an ex-employee who hurt his stupid feelings is as good a stopping point as any.

I stopped posting/interacting when he invited Nazi Jesse Anglin back on - boosting him as well. Platforms should abide by their own terms of service in the least.

In the words of the philosopher Bruce Springsteen "Everything dies baby, that's a fact."
