Here we go again. I didn't ban HER. She banned ME. She engaged in the same behavior toward others for which she castigates Medium. A "truth" can't be a "truth" if it has documented refutations from reliable sources. That Medium chose to suspend Marley K is on them, but Marley K demonstrated her capacity to lash out personally, and unaccountably, quite a few times. Free speech matters so much that ITS CONSEQUENCES matter as well.

Medium isn't a political entity. It isn't the state. The First Amendment applies to the government, but it doesn't apply to Medium, no matter how much we insist that it should. It can close her off, and it's their prerogative to do so. I believe that we understand one another. We just disagree. Shalom and Salaam.
