    It sounds like some of the consequences of free speech is violence in this case.

      I did not advocate for violence. I do advocate for consequences to actions. If you say something vile, you should expect for people to treat you as someone who said something vile.

        What was in the letter that was vile enough to be attacked?

        If signing it means being physically attacked, regardless of what was written, that is an assault on freedom of speech.

          I have reread the article several times. No one in it advocates for violence against the authors of the letter. They do advocate for them losing jobs and other economic advantages. So not sure where you are even getting this from.

          But to explore your ideology a little further. Do you advocate the same thing for Jewish people who support Israel? My guess is you don’t. Do you condemn Hamas for their “day of rage” proclamation, an actual call to violence?

          I am curious for your answer. My guess is all of a sudden your position is more nuanced.
