No, you are incorrect. There comes a point when any sane man cannot let
wack job nutcases have a say on an equal footing with the factual and the
sensible.

Should that Islamic fascist, Ahmadenijad, who says the holocaust never
happened and that Israel should be wiped off the face of the map, be given
equal time with legitimate historians who don't deny the holocaust? Hell
no! People like that should be shouted down and have rotten vegetable
tossed in their faces. The more you let people spout their total nonsense
on equal footing with reasonable explanations the more you lend them
credence. The more you lower the bar for the reasonable and the sensible.
I believe in letting everybody have their say. But, I also believe what
people say should have consequences. If you say something stupid and
obnoxious enough then, if somebody after hearing you out decides to punch
your right in the nose, you learn real fast that actions have consequences
and talking crap might just get you crapped on. You've heard the old
saying that if you repeat a lie often enough it becomes accepted fact?
That's the trouble with allowing wack job conspiracists to remain
unchallenged. You MUST not only challenge their flaky ideas but you must
point out that they cannot think clearly either. You must show their
inferior intellects are not capable of rational thought. In other words
their ideas reveal their brain function. Dumb, stupid conspiracy ideas =
dumb, stupid conspiracy brain.

The widespread belief in human caused global warming is a good example of
what happens when you let a bunch of nutjobs spout their nonsense ad
nausea over a period of years without challenge. It becomes a religion. A
totally irrational religion based on belief and not on facts. That's why
it's important not only to refute nonsense but identify individuals who
spout nonsense as fact as defective mentally.

So you endorse the initiation of physical violence against people who say
things you find overtly offensive?
