Unlike some here I'm not a free speech absolutist. I still believe defrauding and defaming should be punished if proven. So I'm not mad he got taken down, he started shit and he got hit, I wouldn't be mad if someone I otherwise agreed with lost their review in that manner either.
The censorship I'm mad about has gone far beyond that. It's about punishing the discussion of ideas, the creation of fictional characters, and most disgusting of all - the stating of objective truths.
Someone jammed the brakes on the vehicle of public discourse, but my ideal solution isn't to cut the brake cables entirely.
The question is: Do you think this is a godd thing, because it hit a leftist, or do you think it is bad, because censorship is for assfaggots.
Those aren't the only two options

Tldr; Nah fuck him, he's no martyr
In this case it was valid because the cunt was being an extremist jackass.
And I don't see why it should be censored. I think it should stay for eternity so everyone can see what an utter bellend that guy is.
Defamation per se is pretty damn established in America's legal system, predating America.
