I am not sure why everyone should feel comfortable with everyone else's choices. Do people think everyone should like the movie that most people are going for ?

I think we should always pay attention to the other side of the story before we buy into the allegations.

I am not playing down the possible harassment of any employee but let us not be blinded by the allegations alone either.

While I appreciate SO, I think it is only a glorified ExpertsExchange or some other BB that were popular before SO.

Honestly. I despise clicking on Forbes.com for this ad spam.

If the donation pool is limited and a sick person is not allowed to use his wealth to save himself, it is violence on the sick person.

While it might sound bad to you for millions of Indians and Chinese it is totally worth a Kidney. As long as they are making that choice themselves I do not see the problem.

Thanks for that response, I think I will use "allegedly questionable data on planetary climate and surrounding public discourse by friends on the western side of the globe". That ought to be less "provocative" while meaning the same.

> Free speech? Free speech doesn't exist so that people can make ridiculous comments like 'taking comments from the public into account when making policy is mob rule'. Free speech exists so that people can make those comments on policy and have them heard.

You are flat out WRONG.

Free speech exists for all sort of speech including mocking, ridiculing and being outright stupid and retarded too.

> Free speech exists so that people can make those comments on policy and have them heard.

Free speech has nothing to do with policy, government, state or laws. It is an independent right that exists for no specific purpose other than itself.

And in this case it appears to be "free speech for you as long as you voice your support for me".

I am the OP. I don't even bother to look at downvotes and the fact that an opinion is unpopular does not really say anything about the merits of the argument.

I am pretty sure HN crowd will hound anyone who claims to agree with FCC on this point which I do.

Voting.

What is inflammatory about the comment ? It surely brings a new perspective into things. Your warning seems ill motivated.
