I think there's an obvious difference between doxxing and calls to violence and "I dont like x." Words and thoughts cannot do harm, and the only way to defeat bad logic is with good logic. No one will change their mind if you censor them, it only gives them more power. If you actually want people to think differently, you have to have an open forum for discussion. And unless you can allow others the same right to free speech as you, you cant expect the same to be given back to you.

Well that means you don't want a place where nothing is deleted. That's all I wanted to find out.
