Klein is absolutely being pro-censorship. He's accusing Harris of failing to view a scientific argument in necessary social context - to work to soften a debate in advance. He's saying Harris is acting dangerously.
Klein is attempting to prevent Harris from a discourse, not unlike what you are attempting here.
You know I see exactly what you're doing, as does anyone else viewing this back and forth honestly.
You're going to try to corner me as someone with ill intent. This is quite cheap, but you've trended cheap as of late, so it's hardly unexpected.
I am a free speech absolutist. I do not like any form of censorship, particularly those attempted on the sly.
And you still have not answered my inquiry: What on earth is lost in letting Murray, or any other "intellectual," fail on the merits?
