Nonesuch writes, "Right out of the gate, as a first resort, you're already seeking to forcibly silence someone else."
Excuse me, but "forcibly silence"? I don't see anybody being forced in any way: nobody is keeping Salon from putting its cheeky blog up. Nobody is keeping you from writing a letter defending it, just as nobody is keeping me from writing a letter excoriating it. Freedom of the press doesn't mean freedom from withering criticism.
Welcome to the marketplace of ideas. You're welcome to say whatever you wish; I'm welcome to tell you that what you've said is wrong. Grow a thicker skin and deal with it.
