This is the worst kind of censorship. I guess debate is also dead.

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say."

I feel like this quote needs a qualification. You can still fear what someone might say without fearing they are correct.

This is exactly what the quote is saying. You are adding on your own layer of bias by assuming he’s incorrect.

I don't agree; pointing out the words are lies certainly turns the quote on its head for me.
