Ooh, got rid of a smart aleck.

It was a weirdo who liked to brag about how he was the "biggest believer in free speech in the country", but when it came to any speech issue which wasn't super straightforward, he was like nah.

It wasn't so much that he disagreed on one point or another, it was that he never took any spicy position.

He really wanted people to see it too. Just give us the free speech issues, chief.

I maintain that if someone doesn't hold at least one public view on free speech which is a bit spicy, then they have no business in calling themselves the "biggest supporter of free speech in the country".

Also, he attacked a company which *did* make tricky decisions on free speech because they weren't censorious enough, and misrepresented them as taking a more radical anti-censorship stance than they really did.
