I stand by free speech. Let them speak as they will.

Oh wait, it's in the context of business meetings needing to stay on-topic, and specifically mentions the issue is people chiming in to mindlessly agree or disagree without further input, needlessly extending meeting times. Yeah, the business isn't paying you to talk pointlessly.

EDIT: And the twitter outrage is meta-outrage. They're outraged that no one is outraged with his statement. As in, those familiar with the situation and experiencing it on a daily basis, did not disagree with his assessment of the situation, so they're mad. Or in OTHER other words, experts on the situation came to a unanimous decision, and Twitter is angry about it and disagreeing with the experts and their lived experiences.
