Why are we letting someone openly endorse a massacre here?

Why do you demand those who disagree with you be physically silenced?

Because others were silenced for similar reasons.

So, what you are saying is "well, it's a shame Tiananmen Square happened, but since the Communist Party had them run down with tanks, we might as well do the same in solidarity with those who were killed." That makes no sense. If you want to support the protestors who were killed, you should start by supporting everyone's human right to free speech, no matter how disagreeable it is.

I might have misread your post once again (why do I always misread your posts in particular? It seems that always happen when we engage in a debate), but do you mean the protestors, or do you mean those who have, as you see it, "endorse massacres" in the past?

I was referencing to posters here which were silenced (not always for "endorsing massacres", sometimes the offenses were milder), rather than the protestors in Tiananmen.

I suspect than the misreadings are due to my wierd written English. English is my second language, you see.

Through, you're right. Calling for censorship isn't appropriate in this specific context. They fought for free speech and democracy. However, I still maintain than jaichind's views are quite disgusting and I notice the irony of him using the free speech of the country where he lives to endorse deletion of the free speech in another country.
