The stronger the push, the stronger the kick back. If we're going to try to silence him at every other turn, if we're going to ban him from speaking events or disrupt them so much he might as well be silent or if we're going to remove platforms like twitter from him, the platforms he has left are just going to be louder.
IMO, yeah, he's a huge asshole, but he deserves the chance to speak. After all, if he's such a jerk, it should be easy enough to counter what he says with logic and reason. Have a counter argument ready instead of just throwing a gag on him. Hell, if nothing else, letting him make a big spectacle out of himself will just hurt his cause; when people realize what an obnoxious douche he is, they'll desert him. But if they just know he's someone Leslie Jones and a bunch of SJW's hate, well, they'll push his book to #2 on Amazon.
