I've explained these things before. I'm not going to do so again, just because _you_ weren't reading.
IIIRC, the last time you did so with regard to freedom of speech was a very, very long time ago. Since then, you mostly seem to post articles, urls and extremely one-sided diatribes. I don't think asking you to back up blind statements with a cogent argument and not flood the list with ghostposts is an unreasonable request.
Erik, on the other hand, agrees with you... but he's shown on more than one occasion that he's very capable of putting together a solid position to support his arguments. Incidentally, I disagree with Erik about how far freedom of speech should be allowed, but I respect that he's willing to discuss it and listen to other people's points of view.

All of these right have been attacked by this administration, and I've posted multiple articles about the administrations attacks against every one of these rights. I'm not going to do it again, right here and now.
The articles are not an argument in and of themselves. I may be wrong, but that sounds like what Damon is saying.
