Imagine defending Stevan for whatever reason... for years he just came to shit on everything, then disappearing.
There are dark forces lurking this place.
The concept / principle of free speech is that if it's guaranteed for the people you don't like or the people that say ugly/offensive things then it is truly free.
There are a lot of posters that I think this forum would be a better place without. And I'm willing to bet that there are some here who think this of me.
However, what's worse, and less productive than a place with uncomfortable ideas and messages is an echo chamber. Any forum that becomes an echo chamber is worthless.
People raise fair points that this is a privately owned forum and to a large extent they are right...but as the largest Milan forum (that I know of at least), it's basically the voice of the English speaking fans. It's similar to how Facebook and Twitter are the voice of ppl on social media...hence this is actually why the courts ruled that Trump wasn't allowed to block ppl he didn't like
....because their access to the public marketplace of ideas shouldn't be obstructed as long as they upheld the TOS.....it's all very convoluted and contradictory...but the main takeaway of my rambling should be: as far as humanly possible we should allow ppl to drop in their $0.02.
I think exiling people from the public discourse leads to radicalisation. There are even studies that show that violence has decreased with the advent of the internet in the USA...I think this is due to the catharsis of being able to voice whatever opinions/frustrations you have. I think MassterMark is somewhere out there with a crazy formation, insisting his poor hapless team plays it just exactly as he demands it
