Reply #52: It has nothing to do with "siding" with him or not. [View All]

I suppose it depends on how you look at the world. Details and specifics matter, or they don't. To me, and apparently to struggle as well, they matter.

It doesn't change the fact that what was done to him was evil. It doesn't change the fact that he was a martyr for freedom of thought and free speech. But it does change our understanding of what he was actually saying, and in as much as that matters to you or not, you can appreciate the details or not, as you see fit.
