Agreed—speech that is directly and intentionally harmful obstructs the telos of the forum; it should be mitigated or discouraged. The moderators have not, however, specified how my comments condone, downplay, or victim-blames; and they dismiss the work of feminist legal scholars who have argued my position.
I maintain that the moderators have been irresponsible.
