The Spirit of Free Speech as We See It - (Nat Hentoff, Patron Saint of Free Speech)

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


We are currently dealing with how best to moderate our discussions. We have long welcomed all comers so long as they are respectful of other readers and of the site. Unfortunately there has been a decline in civility and occasionally there is even malicious activity in our forum.

We are deeply committed to free speech. We always will be. If one comes to ACC with a heartfelt disagreement we are very happy to air it and to discuss it, so long as it is respectful. We have however been too tolerant of people who have little interest in discussion and instead seek to retard discussion by “conversation crashing” and other activity. Essentially some people seek to throw up flack to destory actual discussion.

Some of the best readers we have argue with our points all the time. These readers are part of what makes ACC (in our opinion) great. However, if one is malicious that is an altogether different matter and we will address such activity more actively in the future.

I post the video below to give our readers a sense of the level of commitment we have to free speech. Nat Hentoff was a radical (some would say) writer for The Village Voice who embodied in life part of the spirit that we hope flows through Against Crony Capitalism.

By the way check out the movie. It’s fantastic.
