I don't usually submit my articles to reddit, but I did for This last week in free speech. I cross-posted the article on my politics blog Pagan Vigil and my pagan slice of life blog Technopagan Yearnings.
The libertarian link got hardly any views and quickly moved from the front page to the much deeper.
The pagan link got a couple of hundred views in two days and sparked an interesting conversation.
I was surprised at the insistence on historical and political context for violence. It's also interesting that the article kept moving up and down.
I'm disappointed to see how many people believe that "hate speech isn't free speech" and that certain people don't deserve free speech rights.
