I Have Been ' Blocked '

Today i've been blocked again, this time from a famous user of this site.

Seems like people can't stand opinions when they are different. We were having a long and interesting conversation about men behaviour on this site but suddenly i've been blocked.

I had a different opinion.
Let me repeat it again: [b]I had a different opinion[/b].

A lot of people here are from United States and we all know how US talk a lot about freedom. Freedom of speech, freedom of belief, freedom of informations and more. Nobody ever talked about fredom of blocking.

I can understand that on a site as SW a blocking feature is necessary because of flamers or trolls but not for different opinions. This is just stupid and childish. It's an abuse.

Many people complain how muslims mistreat women, how Putin kills journalists, how Kim Jong Un rules his country, how some in US think guns should be banned. These people talk about freedom, they full their mouths with this word as if it was something so much important no one, NO ONE could ever take it away from another human being.
And then they block people because they have different opinions.

Shame.

You have totally mistated "freedom of speech"

Freedom of speech does not ... never has ... never will ... mean the listener needs to listen or TOLERATE the speaker.

Freedom of speech simply means you can say the stupidiest things you can imagine ... to the air, without being penalized for it.

In the US, we also have the natural right to Liberty (only nation on the planet to recognize it as a natural right)

Liberty means "we do not need to listen to other opinions" ... at all ... nor tolerate others expressions, when different from our own ... at long as we do not abridge their individual right to pursue happiness.

So ... you were blocked ... likely others will block you ... and it will have nothing to do with freedom of speech ... and everything to do with your lack of an ability to dialogue civily.

Tip: you have a difference of opinion ... anticipate being isolated ... and be strong about it.
