If your only argument is that "being an asshole should be legal because free-speech", MAYBE you should re-evaluate your priorities in life.

Sounds like you are "being an asshole". Should what you have said be grounds for deplatforming? Maybe you should re-evaluate your priorities in life. Censorship always bites at those who endorse it, unless they have and keep power.

I don't care? Communities are allowed to hold others to standards of behavior and exclude those who do not meet those standards. The government just can't enforce legal consequences.

So why shouldn't we also be able to exclude violent, disease-spreading people like blacks and gays? They contribute very little and take quite a bit, so why tolerate them?
