Reply #54: The best cure for speech you don't like is more speech! [View All]

Hi AnIndependantTexan,

I wouldn't go as far as to sugest they label themselves as tin-hat wearing folks; I just want lucidity in the presentation of the data. I am happy with the topic, if we can bring it back to the land of the logical.

Reasonable disclosure is all we need here. If the writer wants to dive headfirst into fiction, that is fine, but we need to know. Also, breaking it down into something intelligible wouldn't hurt either.

We've had several conversations, AnIndependantTexan about the merits of this particular issue, its handling and the affect that has come from its handling. You should know that I am all for people speaking their minds, but free speech was never meant to protect people who disparage other people with reckless disregard for the truth. As much as I have a gut feeling some of these people and corporations have been unscrupulous in certain areas, I can't start making wild accusations without some linkage to the truth.

Know what I mean?

Warmly,

George
