Thanks, that's good to hear.
But for a guardian of freedom of speech, could I politely request you to try to reduce your use of imperative commands encouraging people to 'stop' or leave the debate in other ways?
Like I said, you are interesting to talk with, but its a bit demotivating when faced with what comes across as a bit of a 'get outta here' attitude.

That’s part of free speech. Ever see fight club when the guy tells some other guy to GTFO and stop waiting in front of the house. Its a test of sorts where you have to come back stronger. It’s possible to make your political and social opinion so loud and honest that they can’t be ignored no matter how much an outside force tries to beat you down. If you’re discouraged by me telling you to shut up think about some revolutionary figures throughout history that spent time in prisons when whole governments told them to shut up about issues. Some issues are really important.
At the end of the day honesty and righteousness is extremely powerful. As long as you cloak yourself in that, no one can really silence you. Of course you need to supplement this all with knowledge too.
